Fwd: installing root from source using visual C++

no output following "cl.exe" :( as i said which cl.exe returns the correct address

no response to "unset VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT ; cl.exe 2>&1 | awk '{ if (NR==1) print $8 }'"

which cut returns /usr/bin/cut
which awk returns /usr/bin/awk

i am investigating whether awk is working at all, when i confirm/disconfirm that a hello world program works i'll let you know.

once again, thanks a lot for you help.
