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
