[Ecls-list] Win32 MSVC Build Problems

["john fred connors"]

As of 15.50 GMT on 25/02/10 I had these build problems with ECLS as
cloned from git. I was building on Win XP with Microsoft Visual
Express 9.0 and the Windows SDK. ECL_UNICODE, ECL_DEBUG, and
ECL_THREADS were all set: Here are the relevant portions of the log.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

1> When compiling config.lsp:

(compile-file "build:lsp;config.lsp" :output-file
#P"build:lsp;config.obj.NEWEST" :SYSTEM-P T :C-FILE T :DATA-FILE T
:H-FILE T)
;;;
;;; Compiling build:lsp;config.lsp.
;;; OPTIMIZE levels: Safety=2, Space=3, Speed=3, Debug=0
;;;
;;; Compiling (DEFUN SHORT-SITE-NAME ...).
;;; Compiling (DEFUN LONG-SITE-NAME ...).
;;; Note:
;;;   in file config.lsp, position 837
;;;   at (DEFUN LONG-SITE-NAME ...)
;;;   Sharing code among functions LONG-SITE-NAME and SHORT-SITE-NAME

Filesystem error with pathname #P"C:/wsr/lisp/ecl/msvc/".
Either
 1) the file does not exist, or
 2) we are not allow to access the file, or
 3) the pathname points to a broken symbolic link.
Available restarts:
