I would be happy to if a) it isn't too complicated (like I said, my C/C++ skills are rusty) and b) I can figure out how to get a simple checkout to compile properly. My first goal right now is simply to get the code from the 2382 branch to compile without making any changes what-so-ever, but I am struggling with that. I will retry with Tony's latest instructions and see if that makes any difference. >> What is cygwin required for?

Are those scripts part of the CVS tree as well? Should I be using those scripts to build things? >> Hmmm - interesting. Where do I look for build.h in that case?

Or is the Rebuild Soln supposed to do that for me? Do you guys use VS for development as well? Or some other IDE? Thanks, Eric
