Yes I agree it is "broken #1" and shouldn't be this way, but I assure you, really, your results are 99% there. What isn't working is minor and easy to fix and much is working.

Jay:
There is no line in the m3makefile dealing with datefn, so I added the whole statement just before the line
include("version.quake")
Now, I get an error saying that the variable datefn is not defined.
If you change to put quotes around datefn in the include statement, you get an error saying it can't open the file.
You made a reference in one of your earlier posts about trying 5.1.6 or 4.1, but note that I started with your cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0.zip , not the 5.1.6 or 4.1 versions. Thus, using d5.5.0 as a base, I am trying to run your "upgrade.cmd" to rebuild the sources I checked out from CVS. Since this doesn't work "out-of-the-box", again I say this fits into the "Broken #1" category.
If I can get this to work, I don't mind putting together a Windows installer program that will install the whole thing. That way, folks won't have to install cygwin just to get CVS so that they can install a working cm3. Folks will need to install the free Microsoft Visual C as a prerequisite, but then that's not too bad. Having an installer program would make cm3 more friendly to Windows folks. The current 16-step method is too laborious and error-prone for the person just getting started and they will not give cm3 a second try.
As the cm3 system evolves and new releases are made, we will need to keep the installer program up-to-date and I don't mind doing that. After someone gets familiar with cm3 they might want to delve into some of the scripts for rebuilding the system, but until then, I think the installer program is the way to go.

Later.Could be that the Python scripts have a typo and don't define them.I've been using them more than cmd. If the host is NT, "NOW" is either gotten from an updated cm3.exe, or left to "not available". So the initial cm3 built from older cm3 can't report when it was built, but cm3 built from current cm3 can. I need to change that: 1) to be a function for niceness 2) to make it that way for Posix, for any host but I haven't been using Posix as much lately so not testing it. - Jay

Jay:
In the file version.quake, I made the following edit:
changed line: local datefn = "../" & TARGET & ".datenow"
to: local datefn = ".." & SL & TARGET & ".datenow"
This change has the effect of putting a backward slash in the pathname instead of a forward slash, so we getC:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\src\..\NT386.datenow
So from that perspective, the change seems good.
Unfortunately, I still get the error that this file can't be opened.
A quick check of C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\NT386 shows that the file .datenow does not exist.

It's not critical. >> C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\src\../NT386.datenow The code is: C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\m3-sys\cm3\src\version.quake or such, included by cm3\src\m3makefile. Does the file exist?Does version.quake use "/" or "SL"? If it uses "/", try replacing with SL (and ampersand for string concat). Could be that a newer binary distributions works better with forward slashes. > 4. > 5.

Cygwin is only needed for cvs, I think you realize.
Could you send me offline the result of just running "set" after running vcvarsall?
I'd like to adapt pylib.py to it maybe.
(I can start from 5.1.6 and will try 4.1 at some point.)

Jay et al:
I've listed below the steps I've undertaken to try and build the current sources on Windows XP.
I've also attached a text file showing the output I got when trying to build everything using Jay's upgrade.cmd script.
Unfortunately, I'm getting a build error (see below).
Please advise on how to resolve.
STEPS I TOOK:
=========
1. Download Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition All-in-One .ISO file and burn to DVD. http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/
2. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition from DVD.
3. Use "Microsoft Update" service to check for updates / service packs.
4. Download cygwin setup program from http://cygwin.com/
5. Ran cygwin setup.exe program to install cygwin for all users. Under "Devel" category, make certain to select "cvs" for installation.
6. Launch cygwin from desktop icon.
7. In cygwin command shell window, execute following two commands, making sure to give email as password when prompted for login: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at modula3.elegosoft.com:/usr/cvs login cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at modula3.elegosoft.com:/usr/cvs checkout cm3
8. Moved resulting C:\cygwin\home\rcoleburn\cm3 to C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree Note that you should replace "rcoleburn" above with your Windows login username.
9. Download cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0.zip and cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0-symbols.zip from http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cm3/download.html
10. Unzipped cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0.zip and stored resulting cm3 folder at C:\cm3
11. Unzipped cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-d5.5.0-symbols.zip and stored resulting symbols folder at C:\cm3\symbols
12. Launch Windows Command Prompt shell. The following steps represent commands executed within this shell.
13. path %path%;c:\cm3\bin
14. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
15. cd C:\CM3_CVS_SourceTree\scripts\win
16. upgrade.cmd
