RE: problems with the build of Jonah on NT

Hi
	I also ran into build problems with Jonah on NT. I was able to fix
it by changing the path settings thru the System control settings. Make sure
u don't have any duplicates which will occur if u had uninstalled and
installed VC. Also, try changing the path locations to short equivalents
such as D:\Progra~1\ instead of the long names in your environment.

Regards

No, i386_win32 is fine.  It's auto-generated from the machine type and the
OS type.  The only thing I see that looks a little strange is that in the
error message, BOXDIR is in caps, whereas you said you created it as a
lowercase directory.  While NT's filenames are case-insensitive, ODE comes
from the Unix world, and it's possible that this is causing problems.  Can
you check your sandbox configuration file (sb.conf in the rc_files
subdirectory) and make sure that the case there matches the directory name.
I checked back, and I had a similar problem myself once, and it turned out
to be that if you create a directory with a leading capital, some of the NT
services capitalize the entire name, which confuses ODE, so that's also
something to check - if your directory is actually called "Boxdir" as
opposed to "boxdir", that might be the problem.

If this doesn't fix the problem, I'll forward your mail to an ODE expert in
IBM, but as my mailer is currently not showing your e-mail address, you'll
have to send me mail with your address in the body.

I still get the following error message when I run command: build setup_all
although I changed dirctory name sandboxdir to boxdir (less than 8
characters):

mkpath -quiet  OSSRV/. &&  cd .\\OSSRV  &&  mk  MAKEFILE_PASS = SETUP
setup_all   ../../../../BOXDIR/sandbox/obj/i386_win32/OSSRV: bad
MAKEDIR      Error code 2

Is it because the name i386_win32 is too long? If it is, how to changed it?

Thanks
