Hello,

Since SVN 30390 [1] the Windows buildbot has failed to compile.
If one reverts that change (which itself was a reversion of a patch
to get the windows buildbot working again <grin>), it will be found that the changes submitted with SVN 30392 [2] will also fail to compile under windows.

I've been assuming that since Ronnie asked Anders to revert that change, that Ronnie is going to fix it [hopefully soon].

Oops. I haven't been able to build Windows in a while. Can you send me the errors you get?

Should buildbot compile failures like this result in an some type of email alert? My guess is that at times the buildbot would generate too much mail.

The buildbot is supposed to send emails when the builds fail (and it used to--look through the archives for all the mails) but since the recent server upgrade, it hasn't worked:
