-Audacity 1.2.x releases are built with Visual C++ 2003 onwards. The freely

MSVC++ STEP 2: Build wxWidgets
------------------------
When you have downloaded and installed wxWidgets, you must
-build it. First though, to be compatible with Audacity, you
-must alter the build settings to use the multithreaded
-statically-linked run-time libraries instead of the
-multithreaded DLL run-time libraries. This isn't hard:
-
-1. Launch Visual C++ and open the workspace file called
- "wxWidgets.dsw" in the "src" directory of your wxWidgets
- installation.
-
-2. Select "Project"->"Settings" (Alt+F7), choose "Win32 Release"
- in the "Settings For" combo box and select everything visible
- in the tree window on the left of the dialog box.
+build it. Audacity requires different build settings than
+are shipped with the wxWidgets projects, to use the
+multithreaded statically-linked runtime libraries instead
+of the multithreaded DLL runtime libraries. However,
+wxWidgets 2.4.2 does not ship with VC8 (or VC7) solution and project
+files, only MSVC6, so Audacity supplies VC7 versions.
+All you need to do is copy them to the right place and use
+them to build wxWidgets -- no need to edit the wxWidgets
+versions.
-3. Now select the "C/C++" tab and change "Use run-time library"
- under the 'Code Generation' combo box to "Multithreaded".
+1. Copy all the files and folders from
+ "audacity\win\wxWidgets_additions_VC7" to "C:\wxWindows-2.4.2\src"
+ (or the corresponding location if you installed wxWidgets
+ someplace other than the default).
-4. Now select "Win32 Debug" from the "Settings For" combo and
- change the run-time library to "Debug Multithreaded".
+2. Open "C:\wxWindows-2.4.2\src\wxWindows.sln".
-5. Now you can click "OK" and build wxWidgets by selecting
- "Build"->"Batch Build" and clicking "Rebuild All".
+3. Build the configurations for all the wxWidgets projects
+ corresponding to which configurations of Audacity you want
+ to build. Audacity 1.2.x for Windows is available in Debug,
+ and Release configurations.
-This will build both Debug and Release versions of the
