Sigh. I thought this sort of problem would be less common in 5.8.0 but apparently not. Try simply doing an "MMK ALL" twice in a row or "MMK ALL" followed by "MMK TEST". Another thing that I think worked for me once was "MMK CONFIG" followed by "MMK". The basic problem is there is set-up that needs to be done but it gets skipped the first time around. > Also if I do 'MMK CLEAN' I get this warning on the next build attempt. > > Warning: the following files are missing in your kit: > dbiproxy.pl > dbish.plt Yes, I've always noticed this as well. We should probably look at the clean target but I've always just reextracted from the archive if I needed these.
