<body class='hmmessage'>some more notes on the win32 system<BR>
<BR>> setup your C++ compiler/linker<BR>
<BR>You can/should "play dumb", skip that, and just run upgrade.<BR>See what errors you get.<BR>I tried to put in the right amount of up front sanity checking.<BR>
<BR>What you need in particular are<BR>
<BR>cl and link on the %PATH%.<BR> See, cminstall would have you specify full paths, my configuration uses %PATH%.<BR>If using VS2005 (8) or newer, mt on the path.<BR>
<BR>%LIB% is a semicolon delimited list of directories.<BR>That is a feature of the Microsoft linker.<BR>
msvcrt.lib must be in one of them.<BR>
<BR>Any 32 bit version of Visual C++ -- 2.0, 4.0,, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0 -- should work.<BR>I have tested all of them some and many required small changes in one particular spot,<BR> that actually is only used by "maintainers" (C:\dev2\cm3\m3-win\import-libs\src\make-lib-1.cmd).<BR>I use 8.0 the most lately.<BR>I haven't done much with 9.0.<BR>
<BR>
Another thing, fairly redundant:<BR>
<BR>
C:\dev2\cm3\m3-win>more vcredist.txt<BR>On computers without Visual C++ 2005 or CLR 2.0 installed, download and run the setup for the Visual C++ runtime -- vcredist_x86.exe -- from either<BR>
