[kepler-dev] Notes about building Kepler under Windows (Cygwin)

[Dan Higgins]

Christopher,
    Your errors at the end (regarding TokenSentListener) look like you 
are not compiling against the latest checkout of Ptolemy (since the 
Provenance stuff is in the PTII CVS, I think).

    Also, I had never looked at the QuickTime interface, but I think 
Apple put it in the lib\ext\
directory to make sure it gets into the classpath regardless of what the 
classpath setting is. The Kepler ant scripts (like 'ant run-dev') set 
the classpath in the java invocation, so they should be completely 
independent of the $CLASSPATH environment variable.
