* Dojo Core Support

I want to create a custom build for dojo so I can create my own widgets. I followed
instructions in http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-porting-guide-0-4-x-0-9/build-system-ch...,
using a profile in the util/buildscripts/tests/ folder to see if it's gonna work.. see what I did below and the errors that resulted:

in Windows, I did the following:

1) Checked out a copy of util/ and put it at the same location as the dojo/ folder that contains the core dojo.js
2) I copied the file util/buildscripts/tests/profiles/nestedNls.profile.js into
util/buildscripts/profiles/
3) In util/buildscripts/, I ran:
build.bat profile=nestedNIs action=clean,release

*ERRORS 1:

4) I noticed _base/ is not in the dojo/ directory, so I checked out a copy from
http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/dojo/trunk/_base/ into dojo/_base/

5) Again, In util/buildscripts/, I ran:
build.bat profile=nestedNIs action=clean,release

I've tried this on different nightly builds including the one on 08/22/2007 and I believe down 0.9beta as well. Can somebody please help me at least create a custom build using a working example?

I've been stuck on this for days now.

Thank you."
