<DIV class=RTE>What should work is installing the latest release -- 5.2.6.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Checking out the whole tree, copying m3-sys\cminstall\src\config\NT386 to like \cm3\bin\cm3.cfg putting cm3.exe's directory in %PATH%, running vcvars32.bat or simiplar to get a compiler/linker in the path along with %include% and %lib% (sometimes this is done by Visual C++ setup), though %include%/%lib% are hardly used, and running any of scripts\win\do* or scripts\win\upgrad or scripts\win\make-dist, or cd'ing around the tree and running cm3, using any of a variety of versions of Visual C++. (Note that sysinfo.cmd puts \cm3\lib in %LIB% and if you just cd depend, and are using a Visual C++ Express Edition, without also the Windows SDK, then you'll get errors -- the Express Editions lack the Win32 import .libs. m3-win\import-libs builds them and puts them in \cm3\lib.)</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>\cm3 is computed by cm3.cfg to be the directory above the directory that contains cm3.exe. So you don't have to edit cm3.cfg at all.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Of course probably some machine/OS/configuration-specificity crept in and it probably only works for me.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>If you build with Visual C++ 8.0, there is a download/setup needed for machines without it installed, see m3-win\vcredist.txt.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I only tested on XP but a variety of versions of Windows should work, esp. versions of NT (as opposed to 95/98)</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Anyone have a bunch of test automation here?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>The main problem was really just the infinite recursion in startup.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Should a release be made soon then?</DIV>
