Unable to build parrot RELEASE_2_10_1-477-gfa56f62 on windows 7

[Patrick Abi Salloum]

I was trying to build parrot RELEASE_2_10_1-477-gfa56f62 on windows 7
for rakudo.

Starting from a clean windows 7 install, I downloaded git version
1.7.3.1.msysgit.0 and strawberry perl 5.10.1.3

Tried automatically downloading and building parrot by doing

perl ./Configure.pl --gen-parrot

>From the rakudo folder, parrot was downloaded fine but suring the
build I got an error

"Minimum requirement for Parrot on Windows is Windows 2000 - might
want to check windef.h"

in

config\gen\platform\win32\begin.c

I removed the check "if WINVER < Windows2000" from begin.c and the
build went fine with no other problems.

Sorry I could not create a ticket for this issue; trac.parrot.org just
wouldn't let me log in!

I have created http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/1873 to track this
issue. Can some of our Win32 folks take a look at this?

Thanks.

I think you have a WWW-cache between your computer and trac.parrot.org.
I needed to let add an exception for "trac.parrot.org" at the cache
engine to be able to login. Can you switch off caching for
"trac.parrot.org".

I added a ticket for that problem:
