I was trying to build parrot RELEASE_2_10_1-477-gfa56f62 on windows 7 for rakudo.
Starting from a clean windows 7 install, I downloaded git version 1.7.3.1.msysgit.0 and strawberry perl 5.10.1.3 Tried automatically downloading and building parrot by doing perl ./Configure.pl --gen-parrot >From the rakudo folder, parrot was downloaded fine but suring the build I got an error "Minimum requirement for Parrot on Windows is Windows 2000 - might want to check windef.h" in config\gen\platform\win32\begin.c I removed the check "if WINVER < Windows2000" from begin.c and the build went fine with no other problems. Sorry I could not create a ticket for this issue; trac.parrot.org just wouldn't let me log in! _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
