Verification framework treats differences in line ending characters. When ide build is run on Windows, it generates nbbuild/build/*.txt files with CRLF characters at the end of the lines. Some files in the ide/golden directory have only LF at the end of the lines. The verification framework then announce an error when compares such files.
I have tested this problem by cvs co ide/golden on windows and running build and it works fine. The reason is imho that cvs during checkout and update uses correct line endings for the platform it runs on. The verification framework does the same. There should be no problems if you checkout on windows and run the verification on windows.
What about if you have downloaded a ZIP of sources?
Right, I'll fix it using fixcrlf task and by copying the golden file to some temporary location.
