putty-source/README
Simon Tatham fb8d264f28 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!

This is the README for the source archive of PuTTY, a free Win32
Telnet and SSH client.
If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of
Makefiles and equivalents:
- 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.
- 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.
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
corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves.

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.
