The instructions are based on a CVS checkout of the software, not on the source tar ball. In fact, we have never tried building from the source tar ball on Windows. When you do get a CVS checkout, be sure to checkout at least buildtools, MonetDB, clients, and, depending on whether you want SQL or XQyery, MonetDB5 + sql, or MonetDB4 + pathfinder. Also, you will want to choose the correct branch, or even tag (specific version). For the Nov2009 SP2 release, the tag to use is Nov2009_4. If you use the tag Nov2009, you get the latest version of the release branch, but there are very few, if any, significant changes. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask for more information. -- Sjoerd Mullender
