If you're comfortable mucking around on the command line and with the makefiles, I'd work off of Maurizio's package and the redistributable VC++ package. The binaries are good, and all the source is included so if you have to recompile with a few tweaks it's not too painful. As I mentioned, it may not work as well with other compiler versions.
Speaking of Maurizio's work, since he is basing his work on 4.5.0, is there any chance we could start a stable branch of 4.5.0-based code? Seems like 4.5.0 is getting some real traction, but the current HEAD sounds a little like a moving target, so I'd like to see something that basically just has bug fixes to 4.5.0. I don't care if we call it 4.5.0.x or 4.5.x (and look at the HEAD more as 4.6 alpha), but I don't like having to comb through the CVS and find the bug fixes I need and patch them in manually, and I've heard enough on this list to realize it would be foolish to try to take something to production using the HEAD.

The distribution contains both the binary files and the source codes. Building/compilation instructions can be found on the web page. Happy compiling!!!!

Once successful, i wanted to write up the process for other like me out there. But it never happend. Except for one case where with lots of back and forth emails from Dossy help me to compile on suse 10.1. But it was a lot of test and trial and i lost track of how i actually started. But i have to admit that once nsd was started it just works. Guys why not try to document the compilation process and try to align it with 'it just compiles' notion. is it too far fetched. For example a clear instructions for: a. compiling on suse 10.1 b. compiling on suse 10.2 c. compiling on win32 2003 sp1, with vs express edition 2008 etc.... I'm trying to compile 4.5 using visual studio express edition 2008 but keep getting the following error. Does any one know how to fix this? Steps i'm using to compile: 1. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools \vsvars32.bat" 2. nmake -f makefile.vc INSTALLDIR=c:\aolserver OPTS=threads,thrdalloc 3. nmake -f makefile.vc INSTALLDIR=c:\aolserver OPTS=threads,thrdalloc install 4. c:\aolserver\bin\tclsh85t.exe nsconfig.tcl Configuring include/ns.mak with variables: AOLSERVER=c:\aolserver DEBUG=0 TCLSH=c:\aolserver\bin\tclsh85t.exe TCLINC=c:\aolserver\include TCLLIB=c:\aolserver\lib\tcl85t.lib 5. nmake install make install: nsd Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.
