Thank you. Somehow I didn't receive his message. Maybe my spam filter is 
acting up.

Yes, if this is the way to build TM, it would be good to have it added 
to the documentation for building TM at 
http://docs.pushtotest.com/docs/index.html.
Incidentally, on that page it says "Read the documentation in the 
TestMaker/docs directory to learn how to build TestMaker."
But I have not found anything in the docs directory, other than that 
page itself, that tells how to build TM.

Thanks again,
Lars
