Re: FW: /dev/null Not Found

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.
