Run nmake When I run nmake, it has a line that starts with "" instead of some command name. Looking at the configure.js script, it seems that it cannot find something called mc.exe on my system (no wonder since I don't have it), but it goes forward happily without any errors. I managed to learn little about mc.exe using Google. It's some kind of Message Compiler by Microsoft. Any idea what do I need to install to get mc.exe? It may seem that MSVC install is broken, but I can build wxWidgets and FlameRobin with it without any problems. I have MSVC 9 Express Edition. > If something doesn't work along the way, most probably some library is > missing or wrong version, etc. There's now dedicated windows list > internals-win@lists.php.net, which might be a better place for > discussing it, but in any case description of the error message would help.
