Thanks for the reply, Jonathan. A few things came up and I've not been able
to get back until now.
I grabbed the latest from the above link you provided (Feb 16 version, I
believe).
I replaced the '/' with a hardcoded '\' in each of the seven lines in the
'#Executables' section of 'root.in' and that works fine. (There seems to be
a problem in invoking ${SLASH} as per your suggestion - it results somehow
in the creation of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and '.parrot.exe'.)
And in 'pge.in' I changed:
PARROT = [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
to:
PARROT = [EMAIL PROTECTED]@exe@
First snag I then hit is:
g++ -shared -s -L"D:\perl58_M\5.8.8\lib\CORE" -L"D:\MinGW\lib" -o

The input line is too long.
mingw32-make: *** [libparrot.dll] Error 255
Yep ... that's *one* command ... and I'm quite prepared to believe that it
is "too long" :-)
I fudged my way around that by copy'n'pasting that command into a file which
I called 'command.txt' - then open an MSYS (bash) shell and run:
`cat command.txt`
That also works fine ... then, back in the 'cmd.exe' shell run
'mingw32-make' again.
Thankfully, that process now succeeds.
Running 'mingw3-make test' runs pretty much as for 'nmake test' (see report
below) except that it hangs when it gets to the 't/dynoplibs/myops' tests.
When I kill the process and re-run 'mingw32-make test' I get:

Wrt Visual Studio (I'm using 7.0 .NET, btw) it's pretty much the same as
with 0.4.1. It compiles fine but there are some test failures:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'F:\perlvc7\5.8.8\bin\perl.exe' : return code

Stop.
It seems basically functional:
F:\pascrpt>parrot hello.pir
Hello world!
F:\pascrpt>parrot -o hello.pasm hello.pir
F:\pascrpt>parrot hello.pasm
Hello world!
But when I try to run 'japh1.pasm' (which I copied from the examples/japh)
folder I get:
F:\pascrpt>parrot japh1.pasm
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected IDENTIFIER, expecting PARROT_OP
in file 'japh1.pasm' line 10
Same error happens on my linux (Mandrake-9.1) box. Looks like there are
'pasm' files ... and there are 'pasm' files :-)
I'll continue to plug away at this and report back as I make progress (could
take a while). If anyone wants to offer some direction in that regards, then
that's well and good. However, my questions fall into the "dumbarse newbie"
category .... and I'm mindful of the fact that I
perhaps ought *not* be asking them on what appears to be a developer list.
Oh .... one other thing .... on Linux I had to add (the standard location)
/usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I've not had to do that before ... and
the README suggests that I shouldn't have to do it wrt parrot. It says:
"But please note that dynamic libs will not be found for non-standard
locations unless you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or similar."
Cheers,
Rob
