Joe Yates's patch to make mkfiles.pl generate Visual Studio project
files as well as an nmake makefile. Needed line-end tweakery in order to be able to generate usable project files when run on Unix, but other than that appears fine. Ooh! [originally from svn r3721]

This is the README for the source archive of PuTTY, a free Win32

If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of

Makefiles and equivalents:
|

|

- Makefile.vc is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake -f

Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.

- Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems.
|

Type `nmake -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
|

|

(We've also had one report of success building with the
|
||||
OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc
|
||||
with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we
|
||||
haven't tried this ourselves.)
|

|

- Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files
|
||||
for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These
|
||||
have been tested on Visual Studio 6.
|
||||
|
||||
You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the
|
||||
corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example,
|
||||
MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp
|
||||
builds Plink, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
- Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f
|
||||
Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries.

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
|
||||
- under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program
|
||||
Database for Edit and Continue'.
|
||||
Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner
|
||||
value, such as /Zi.
|
||||
|
||||
All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file
|
||||
`Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections
|
||||
to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and
