World: r4wp

Well, to save you some time you should get the R3 form repository 
either from Andreas or me on github. These repos are work in progress 
for Win/mingw at the moment (maybe others have simmilar repos as 
well)

The Win32 build changes have already been merged into Carl's repository 
as well.

r3 form=r3 fork

(The first set of them, that is.)

Ok, I'll try your forks. Thanks

If you have TO_OS=TO_LINUX, then you need to generate a Win32 makefile 
first.

How?

make make OS_ID=0.3.1

Then:
make prep
make

Andreas, ah, good,,but I think Max will still need some tweak to 
bea bel to build...or are the merged changes functional at least 
to get the basic core version?

Yes, they are.

cool

Full set of our changes, except for the dropping of NM.

great, so yes, go for the official repo ;)

Rebol System error 1405...

Ah, that sounds like the Win7 crash.

WinXp

During make make already, I guess?

Try running make make directly:
./r3-make ../src/tools/make-make.r 0.3.1

That should give you the Win32 makefile, with a workaround for the 
crash in place.

to launch an exe, it must and wth .exe in WinXp (from console)

Ok, launched the make make

Error:

./r3-make -qs >NUL: ../src/tools/make-headers.r
.
 non è riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
 un programma eseguibile o un file batch.
mingw32-make: *** [prep] Error 1

make make OS... is ok
make prep gives that error

Is like that says: 
.
 is not a command

problem is in CD=./

it doesn't work on windows

it should probably: "CD=cd"
it returns the current path on Windows.

CD = %CD%  
works

so I arrive at the next bug...

C:\DOCUME~1\max\DOCUME~1\GitHub\r3\maker3-make
 is not recognized

is the path correct? maker3-make is an executable? if so it should 
be maker3-make.exe.

It doesn't exist any maker3-make

anywhere

If you can build successfully R3 in Widnows with MinGW, please post 
the procedure on GitHub wiki

Probably it is a missed file on your fork. I didn't build R3 on Windows 
yet. Cyphre can send that file I think.

You can send me the binary directly... :-)

I don't have that binary. I think it's used by Cyphre and it's missed 
on the svn.

I posted an old binary several days ago. Let me build a fresh one.

MaxV, are you running the above from a MinGW shell?

Or just from a plain cmd.exe?

plain cmd.exe

Not sure if that ought to work.

All paths in the makefile use / as path separators.

So better try running from a MinGW shell.

OK, I understood.

(Otherwise, if you absolutely don't want to use a MinGW shell, try 
using CD=.\ or CD=%CD%\ -- the trailing backslash is important.)

I didn't know the MinGW shell, I used it and it worls!
>> system/version
== 2.101.0.3.1

(works)

We could use a separate group to talk about building and porting 
R3. This group is getting a bit polluted.
