Hi,
I am not able to compile using DOT Net Compiler. It complains that
/dev/null not found.
Why would a Win32 compiler understand '/dev/null'? Perhaps you need to be a
little more descriptive about what you're doing here. ;-)
Similar setup on another Win-XP Box runs fine.
OK. That doesn't really help us on this end much. But it does give you a
machine with which you can do comparisons to find a solution.
I am aware that I can replace /dev/null with a File Name and it will run
but that is not a permanent solution. Lots of archives on the mailing list
suggest the same but they don't tell a corrective action to be taken.
Since this works the same for a vanilla Win32 app, this doesn't indicate
much.
I don't have a /dev/ directory in my root Folder.
