It's no longer a hard requirement, because now we're on cmake rather than mkfiles.pl, we _can_ compile the same source file multiple times with different ifdefs. I still think it's a better idea not to: I'd prefer that most of this code base remained in the form of libraries reused between applications, with parametrisation done by choice of what other objects to link them to rather than by recompiling the library modules themselves with different settings. But the latter is now a possibility at need.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
