[Rd] Failure to build home-made package on WINDOWS 2000 professional

[Joost Schalken]

Thank you for the interest in my problem.

vital information, for which I am sorry.

Based on the question Uwe Ligges, I scrutinized
my PATH settings and saw that my system administrators
included a reference to a Cygwin installation (which
caused problems).

Secondly my PATH contained NETBIOS mounted
shares (e.g. \\sever\path) and directories containing whitespace.
When I remove those also from my path (converting the whitespace-
containing paths to the corresponding DOS names), I was able to
compile the software based on Duncan Murdoch's instructions

Thank you all for your interest and time, kind regards,

Joost Schalken
