I have now played a bit around with this, and I would like to have you confirm that the software above is the _ONLY_ Visual Studio stuff installed on your machine? The reason for this is that I have Visual Studio C++ Express, Platform Server 2003 SDK R2 (the latest I could find), and MASM installed on my XP box, and I cannot get a runnable deploy/.../jre/java.exe If I run first the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\SetEnv.cmd" /XP32 command and then the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat" I can build all of classlib, but invoking deploy\jdk\jre\bin\java gives me the dreaded "Cannot find MSVCR8.DLL" dialogue box. I tried looking around on the net for information how to fix this, and changing -MD to -MT did not change anything. All this with manifests and dll is very strange to me so I'm giving up on that for the moment. If I run the R2\SetEnv.cmd command only (and not the vcvarsall.bat) the compilation fails at the first call to "lib" which cannot find the mscrt.dll (spelling?) library. I am very confident that you have it running, so I just need to figure out how to get to your configuration :) -- Thorbjørn (who is now considering installing vmware to get to a varm, comforting linux environment :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: harmony-dev-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: harmony-dev-help@incubator.apache.org
