Hello, 
   I've compiled,installed,run,configured FDS with no pb so far, for a simple applicative schema, on Linux. 
   I wish to do same things on Windows 2003, then to begin with, to compile. 
   I've tried with MKS (see 1 below) but some pbs, I've tried with cygwin (see 2 below) but some pbs as well...
   I wonder what is the best strategy: going on with MKS, going on with cygwin, 
   What must I check to succeed in compiling FDS on windows ?

   Or can I find "somewhere" a binary version for windows.... 

   Thank you very much in advance

  1)  MKS (gmake), but quite quickly, make fails the following way
  ****************************************************************************

   > make
[ :             ]
make: execvp: true: Invalid argument
make: *** [pre-everything] Error 127

  2) I've tried on cygwin, I do face an other pb :

A couple of thoughts:

1. You almost certainly need to use GNU make
2. Starting with dsbuild is probably not the best way to do this
3. While there is Apache for win32 the FDS modules haven't been tested 
at all under Windows and I suspect won't even compile.

Historically what we've done internally is to prebuild the components 
(NSPR, NSS, SASL, SNMP, etc) and put that into a "components" area so we 
don't have to build the entire world all the time. That is probably a 
better starting point. The trick is to get the binaries put into the 
proper directory structure. I believe there is an argument you need to 
pass to gmake for it to use "internal" components. The file 
components.mk would be a good place to start.

I'd use the Building page on the FDS wiki as a starting point for 
building. IIRC we used the MKS tools (except for make).

How you can get past the missing admin server I don't know. FDS doesn't 
really need an admin server to run. You may even be able to use one 
admin server to manage multiple FDS servers but I'm a little fuzzy on that.
