Completely revamped mkfiles.pl which incorporates dependency

analysis (for both .c and .rc files). Generates the VC++ makefile as
well as the other two; the authoritative source is now the new file
`Recipe' rather than any particular Makefile. Note that `Makefile'
is still here as a relic of the old way until we stop the nightly
builds using it, but it'll be gone soon.

This is the README for PuTTY, a free Win32 Telnet and SSH client.
The provided Makefile is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake' to
build both putty.exe (the main program) and pscp.exe (an SCP
client). The comment at the top of the Makefile gives extra build
options you can use to build in limited Win32s compatibility, a hack
to pass SSH through some types of firewall, and `official' version
numbers.
If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide three
Makefiles:
MS Visual Studio version 6 falls over on the nasty macros in ssh.c.
This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit is the /ZI compiler
option (debug info generation: Edit and Continue). To avoid this
problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6, you should:
- Makefile.vc is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake -f
Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
- Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f
Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
- Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type `make -f
Makefile.cyg' to build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by
default the Pageant WinNT security features and the multiple
monitor support are excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the
time of writing this Cygwin doesn't include the necessary
headers.
If you have MS Visual Studio version 6 and you want to build a
DevStudio project for GUI editing and debugging, you should be aware
that the default GUI configuration of the compiler falls over on the
nasty macros in ssh.c. This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit
is the /ZI compiler option (debug info generation: Edit and
Continue). To avoid this problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6,
you should:
- right-click ssh.c in the FileView
- click Settings
- select the C/C++ tab and the General category

Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner
value, such as /Zi.
For other compilers, some alternative Makefiles are provided. These
Makefiles are generated automatically from the master `Makefile' by
the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections to the
script are more useful than additions and corrections to the
alternative Makefiles themselves.
