I just did a SVN update and the make file is not working.
I'm not near my computer at the moment so I can't supply the exact messages from make. However it seems to be complaining that when linking the euc program, the linker can't find any of the 'export'ed names that have been defined in error.e.

Questions to fill in when you're back where you can answer them:
- Is this from a clean build / checkout?
- How did you configure?
- How did you build (e.g., wmake all)?

What is your current version of eui? Not sure why that would matter but I was able to build on windows from a fresh build w/o issue.
C:\euphoria> eui --version
Euphoria Interpreter 4.0.0 development (r4199) for Windows
Using Managed Memory
C:\euphoria> rmdir /s/q build
C:\euphoria> cd source
C:\euphoria> configure --build ..\build
C:\euphoria> wmake
all built fine.

My build of the latest (4264) gets stuck here:
del /Q c:\euphoria\source\build\intobj\*.*
del /Q c:\euphoria\source\main-.h
Could Not Find c:\euphoria\source\main-.h
del /Q c:\euphoria\source\init-.c
Could Not Find c:\euphoria\source\init-.c
del /Q c:\euphoria\source\main-.c
Could Not Find c:\euphoria\source\main-.c
cd c:\euphoria\source\build\intobj
c:\euphoria\bin\eui.exe -i c:\euphoria\include c:\euphoria\source\ec.ex -nobu
ild -wat -plat WIN -D EU_MANAGED_MEM -i c:\euphoria\include c:\euphoria\source
\int.ex
I'm using the standard
configure.bat
wmake
to get it built. My current version is 4057.

Ok, so this time I deleted the build directory and repeated my steps.
It works now ... mostly.
Except that after bind was built, it couldn't delete that (bind) build directory.

Derek, I had the same problem, deleting the directory. The call to remove_directory was failing. I then began to debug the issue by adding some ?'s for status information and it started working. I reverted, built again and mine now works. Something silly going on, I'm not sure what but it doesn't smell good

Just wanted to report that I was able to build with the latest revision (4273). I also got the "Could not delete build directory" message.

Adding milestone. Sounds like it might already be fixed in the latest svn rev, though we don't know exactly what the cause of the bug or the fix was...

Although there is a can't delete build directory issue. The issue in this ticket's title is now fixed.
