If you want to use a directory shortcut, for example one with the name ''trunk'', just enter ''scut trunk'' and the program will switch to the directory you set for this shortcut.

Here you can download the ReactOS Build Environment (RosBE), the official build environment for compiling ReactOS from source code. It contains curated versions of all required build tools, such as Binutils, GCC, CMake, etc. RosBE makes sure that you can successfully build ReactOS without any hassle, and even if you hit problems, you won't be on your own.

If you like to build ReactOS using Microsoft Visual Studio instead of GCC, please install RosBE anyway. It contains some tools not available in Visual Studio (e.g. Bison and Flex) as well as some tool versions (e.g. CMake) where Visual Studio ships different ones.

If you want to report problems, please first make sure that you use the latest version of the ReactOS Build Environment.
