Building with Visual C++, prerequises\r
=====================================\r
+\r
This document describes how to compile, build and install curl and libcurl\r
from sources using the Visual C++ build tool. To build with VC++, you will\r
of course have to first install VC++. The minimum required version of\r
- VC is 6 (part of Visual Studio 6). However using a more recent version like\r
- 2008 (vc9) is strongly recommended.\r

\r
VC++ is also part of the Windows Platform SDK. You do not have to install\r
the full Visual Studio or Visual C++ if all you want is to build curl.\r
\r
- The Platform SDK can be fetched here, freely:\r
+ The latest Platform SDK can be downloaded freely from:\r

\r
- If you wish to support zlib, openssl, ssh2, you will have to download\r
+ If you are building with VC6 then you will also need the February 2003\r

+ If you wish to support zlib, openssl, c-ares, ssh2, you will have to download\r
them separately and copy them to the deps directory as shown below:\r
\r
somedirectory\\r
sources:\r
cd curl-src\winbuild\r
\r
-Then you can call nmake /f makefile with the desired options (see below).\r
+Then you can call nmake /f Makefile.vc with the desired options (see below).\r
The builds will be in the top src directory, builds\ directory, in \r
a directory named using the options given to the nmake call.\r

-nmake /f makefile.vc mode=<static or dll> <options>\r
+nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=<static or dll> <options>\r
