Description Michael 2008-04-04 09:33:40 UTC

I was wondering about VS8 support for compiling on windows. I have made some
changes to the makefile that add support. probably not the best places to put
things, but I figured it would give a starting point.

Patch files for VS8 support

I have attached some patch files that I have generated that shows the changes I
made to the makefile for VS8 support.

I build using VS 8 without needing these patches.

Note that I use the 'vsvars32' from Microsoft to set the PATH, INCLUDE, LIB and
LIBPATH environment variables.

Henry hates Windows make issues (and I don't blame him), but I've agreed to
handle these issues.

Comment 4 Michael 2008-04-04 10:31:43 UTC

good to know, I thought I had done the 'vsvars32', but I have had my vista
machine wipe out where I have had to reinstall, so I may have forgotten to do so
again after a reinstall. I will definitely have to check it out though, thanks!

Comment 5 Ray Johnston 2008-04-17 10:24:58 UTC

Since the patches hard code reference to C:, they won't work with Visual Studio
that is installed elsewhere.

The 'vsvars32' method works fine even when VS is on other places than C:
