Building on Win 2008

[Max (Weijun) Wang]

Hi All

Just install Win 2008 and VS.NET 2008 this afternoon and try to build  
JDK. There're 2 tiny issues:

1. cl.exe's version is 15.XXXX, not recognized by Compiler-msvc.gmk.  
Duplicate the MS.NET 2003 lines in the file to accept 15.

2. MSVCDIR is not defined in VS.NET 2008's vcvars.bat. Instead  
there's a VCINSTALLDIR. ifndef MSVCDIR and ifdef VCINSTALLDIR, then  
set MSVCDIR := $(VCINSTALLDIR).

and the build seems to go on happily.

Then I decide to install Terminal Services so that I can control the  
machine from somewhere else. A restart is needed so I kill the build  
process and restart the machine.

Unfortunately, cygwin cannot start anymore, google knows this but no  
solution:

I'll try install MKS.

Thanks
