Ok. > I have been trying to follow the directions I found in the wiki here > (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1675) Those instructions are wrong for the M4 released build. You can ignore step 2.5.1. You only need to do that when checking sources out of svn. > I am using Vis Studio > 2008, I have installed Ruby and Python, but "nmake > protocol_gen.mak" fails > with the following; > > NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make > '..\..\specs\amqp.0-10-qpid-errata.xml' > Stop. > > There are no files in ..\..\specs - where should those files > come from? The equivalent of the protocol_gen.mak step is done during the Qpid release process, so the specs are not needed (and not part of the released kit) > Any help would be appreciated Ignoring the protocol_gen.mak step should get you going. Please let us know how you make out after that.
