According to the code, find it need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK, then check paths MSSDK and VCDIR in Build-Eng.cmd and run Build-Eng.cmd.

hi, I try to compile the source code, not sure how to setup the environment, seems need to install VS2005 (it's very old version) and MinGW-w64, right?

You can use MinGW _OR_ (Toolkit 2003 + PlatformSDK). Not _AND_.

I did not use Mingw.
My tool set (Build.cmd):

Code: Select all

set VCDIR=c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003
set MSSDK=c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK

yes, VS toolkit works well. MinGW will fail when compile the code.
