It is possible to build and run Harmony without a full version of Visual Studio.
You will need to download and install:
* Visual Studio C++ Express * Windows toolkit * MASM * Ant * Subversion
The command shell used to invoke ant must have invoked the two scripts in Visual Studio and Windows toolkit - this is most easily done with a script similar to the following:
setlocal call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\SetEnv.cmd" call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat" set CLASSPATH=classlib-trunk/depends/jars/ecj_3.2MAINT/ecj_3.2MAINT.jar;%CLASSPATH% call ant -q -f classlib-trunk/build.xml -Dbuild.compiler=org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 title Done!
Note: Currently the "java" wrapper fails without being able to locate MSVC8.DLL (something like that).
