I just forgot to mention... Compiling with Visual Studio 2008 is just as easy (or as difficult) as compiling with gcc on a Linux/Unix box.

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.
