It's definitely not VC++ centric.

The best suggestion I can give is to look at: $RDBASE/Scripts/NightlyBuildAndTest.sh That sets up all the relevant environment variables and executes the commands to build and test everything. The short form is, after setting the env vars, you do: 1) "make" in $RDBASE/External 2) "make all" in $RDBASE/Code 3) "make regrs" in $RDBASE/Code (optional, but recommended) The regressions/unit tests in the $RDBASE/Code directory should all pass for you (except Demos/PgSQL, but that's hopefully not being built anymore). The tests in the $RDBASE/Python directory won't work so nicely; I haven't finished solving the problem of initializing whatever database is available with the required tables and data yet.
