I was building rev 3976 (so I could compare what I had built with my toolchain with the “official release” and hence validate my local build environment). I don’t see how recent svn commits could have affected rev 3976, but I still need CPPFLAGS and CXX to build it. > Part of the "make" problem -aside from the hardcoded calls to make- is that > different "make" programs behave differently.

If you do switch you’ll have the usual bootstrapping problem when starting from scratch with a new build: you need uMake to be working in order to build itself. > I will rebuild from scratch on Windows in the next couple of days and fix > these new issues. I will let you know when I get that done. OK (and thanks for all your efforts). BTW, when I tried building rev 4186, I got a stack of errors to do with rusage (which looks to have been implemented circa rev 4052). Is this also a known problem for Windows builds? Don
