[ODE] Re: problem with 'make configure'

[anon]

if you install w2k after msvc ie an upgrade, or change certain settings, users roam
etc it often loses the environment variables, a quick way to add them back is to run
the vc setup and select the repair option making sure the register environment
variables is clicked

or enter them by hand as you say,

> I had the same problem when I first started using ODE. I'm not sure, but I think the problem is that vcvars32.bat doesn't set the
path correctly. So I set the paths manually. I tried setting the path in the DOS command line, but it didn't work. So I set the path
in Windows. I think with Win2000 you can do this by going to Control Panel. I forgot where exactly, but look around for the dialog
that allows you to set the path, then use these (assuming VC6 is installed in "program files\micros~3"):

just sets the path; edit the settings in the file config/user-settings; Make a "lib" folder in the ODE directory; Type "make all"
(make sure you have make.exe);
