Re: Build failure on M$ (using MSVC): Patch enclosed

[dhruva]

Hi,
 I figured out the problem. A call to find-file calls
hack-project-variables which calls project-find-settings-file which
tries to search for the file from the root (C: for me). It keeps
looping on "C:\.dir-settings.el". I saw that in a call to stat. I just
created an empty .dir-settings.el under the "C:" and the build is
going on fine (with my earlier path to fix the compilation error -
that needs to be made MSVC specific as it works with GCC/MinGW). I
will try to find the real cause for this looping once I am done with
the build.
