Tools and stuff needed to build OTP for Win32.
----------------------------------------------

Theese are the tools necessary to build and install Erlang/OTP for
Win32 using the current build/install/test environment.

Note 1: I might have missed something here, just blame me for it and
	I'll fix it ASAP 
Note 2: '\\' prefixed paths are Windows shared paths

ClearCase for Windows NT
------------------------
Internal Location:  \\eoomer\D_DISK\Clearcase4\setup.exe
Version:            4
Things to consider: Not absolutely necessary, you can build using a plain 
		    NFS mounted drive, but that is not recommended.
		    Use 'omake', not nmake or clearmake.

NFS client for Windows NT (DiskAccess)
--------------------------------------
Internal Location:  \\Eomer\D_DISK\OTP-program\DiskAccess\dan3intel.exe
Things to consider: read in README

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
------------------------
Internal Location:  Ingvar Meyer
Things to consider: Make sure you have all the VC environment variables set
		    (VCVARS32.BAT)

GCC 2.8.1 for Win32 (Mingw32, NOT CygWin32)
-------------------------------------------
Available at:       http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/
Internal location:  \\Eomer\D_DISK\OTP-program\mingw32\mingw32...zip
Things to consider: Read the installation page at the above URL.
		    Make sure you have the environment set.
Untested

Perl 5 for Win32
----------------
Available at:       http://www.ActiveState.com/
Internal location:  \\Eomer\D_DISK\OTP-program\Perl5_w32\APi522.exe
Things to consider: Associate .pl files with Perl to make the scripts
		    work properly.

Wise 6.0.1
----------
Available at:      Ingvar Meyer, the serial number can found back of the CD
		   cover.
Update to 6.0.1 available at:
	           \\Eomer\D_DISK\OTP-program\WiseUpgrade\wise601.exe

A brief description of what the files in the install_nt/wise directory do
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makefile - Pretty obvious. Two main targets defined: 'default' and
           'install'.

	   'default' will build the OTP installation executable into
		     the current directory. TESTROOT must be set on
		     the make command line.
                       
           'install' will ensure that 'default' is up to date and then
	             uninstalls any version of Erlang conflicting with
	             the version it wants to install (the one built
	             with 'default'), and then installs the new Erlang
	             version. All this is handled by the Perl script
	             'autorun.pl'. TESTROOT must be set on the make
	             command line.

erlang.wse - This is the main WISE script used to create the
	     installation. Sed transforms this file into
	     erlang-main.wse substituting some variables.

data-files.wse - This file is generated with the genwse.pl Perl
                 script. It has all the main data files needed by the
                 installation (eg. jam|erl|hrl|etc..)

doc-files.wse - These files are also generated by the genwse.pl script
                and holds HTML documentation. When building progress
                builds, theese files will normally be (almost) empty.
                (Don't be alarmed by warning/error messages during
                creation of theese files ifyou don't have any
                documentation built).

autorun.pl.in - This is the source for autorun.pl run through sed
                during 'install' build. It manages removal and
                installation of the Erlang installation.
