[krbdev.mit.edu #8045] Re: [krb5] Unable to build under Windows (#235)

[Bratislav Stojanovic via RT]

setenv /x86 doesn't help - still the same. I've even tried setenv /x64
(along
with setting other x64 changes) - again the same error emerge.

Here's the output of the "set" command (attached set_output.txt).

I've tried to manually run def-check.pl and here's the output :

c:\Users\User\Downloads\krb5\src>cd include

c:\Users\User\Downloads\krb5\src\include>perl -w .\../util/def-check.pl
private-
and-public-decls .\../lib/krb5_32.def
_error_table' at .\../util/def-check.pl line 175, <GEN0> line 7896.

If I chnage command to use absolute paths, still the same output.

I accidentally found --with-system-et param in the official install
documentation, not sure
if this is somehow related to this problem. Hmm, 'et' stands for
error_table, but I'm not sure how
to enable/disable this param.
