Hi Arjun, Thankyou for your reply. Sorry but after reading back my question I don't think I worded it well and I didn't make it clear about what I wanted. I want to build fossil itself because I want to patch it and hopefully submit my patches for review. I see that fossil can be built with a batch file "buildmsvc.bat" which uses the command-line visual studio compiler. It uses some kind of custom build where the headers which are needed are added to the files and output into a separate directory. I don't really understand fully how this works and is a guess from what I have seen so far. I want to make a solution for fossil so I can build fossil under visual studio itself from the IDE itself. I can then use the IDE's debugger. I tried to add all the source files from inside the src directory but that didn't work. So I then ran the batch file, waited for it to build and then used the source files from the msvcbld and that didn't seem to work either. So I have failed so far and wondered if anyone has made a solution and if they did, how did they do it? The second question was: - Is there a way I can modify (or pass a parameter) to the buildmsvc.bat to make a "debug" build without the compiler doing optimisations and with it generating a debug pdb. I could also debug fossil from within visual studio this way.
