IMHO capability is not the problem here, but that Windows is lacking something like a default directory (that is everywhere the same), where programm packages are installed in, is propably good reason. ( Another reason is that I have a patch ready to accomplish this ;) ) The following patch a macro ABSMAKECMD which contains the full pathname to the current dmake programm for native Windows dmake (MSVC and MinGW) and "" for all other compilers and sets "DMAKEROOT *= $(ABSMAKECMD:d)startup". I verified that it builds/works MinGW but the patch should be OK for MSVC6 too. Can you check that? I'll test later with VS .NET2003. But we definitely have to update/change the documentation to mention this special Windows treatment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
