State of the build on Windows?

[Ted Neward]

I get some conflicting input regarding the state of the build on a Windows
box. Kelly’s blog of May 2007 implies that it’s broken; is that still the
case?

 

Beyond that, I have Cygwin and VS2003 installed on my box, and I pulled down
and built GNU make 3.80. Things still seem to be kinda broken at a
fundamental level, though—is there anything else I need to do (env vars,
etc) that would need to be set? For example, the makefiles seem to want to
use a default temp directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Ted\Local
Settings\... which obviously has spaces in it; is this supposed to be
corrected somewhere? Where’s the best place to override these settings?
