Hi Shaping, When you install the Windows SDK, it makes a cmd prompt link in the start menu. Try compiling it from there. I think their prompt does more than just set the PATH, but I haven't researched it.
Once you get nmake working, there's a script that can build and bootstrap Factor: build-support\factor.cmd Doug On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 1:49 AM, Shaping <shap...@charter.net> wrote: > I need multi-processing, and fast inter-process queues to build an > Actor-like model for my application.
