I just tried on Windows XP .net VC7 with mico 2.3.8 and xerces 2.2.2 
with omnithreads
with the newest cvs xmlBlaster code and it compiled (java 1.4.1) without 
problems.

Please try a

 build.bat -verbose cpp

to see the command line and try to use this in a .bat file to find out
where the problem is.

I remember that i sometimes noticed a strange behaviour that the 
build.bat/build.sh hangs,
but after trying again it always worked out well (i believe the reason 
is the cpptasks
but i'm not shure).

vc6 does certainly not compile, it can't handle namespaces properly.
