I'm sorry you didn't get any replies but with the holidays it's quite normal
that it takes longer.
I was out myself  for 2 weeks, and i know klaus and julien couldn't reply
either.... sometimes we just gotta be a bit patient. :-)

Ok i'm not sure i understand everything. Building an application on windows
and then on linux can be tricky due to some file permissions and so on.

In your case, i would rather ask you to maybe send us your config files
(install.xml and every others that you use) so we can have a look.

Let us know.
