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.
To build using msvc from the command-line:
cd win
nmake /f makefile.msc
To get a debug build, just add DEBUG=1 to the nmake command. You might
want that to be a clean build the first time so that you get everything
built for debugging. You should be able to just use the resulting EXE
and PDB files in Visual Studio.
In a 32-bit VisualStudio command prompt where all the compiler tools are
available:
C:>cd win
C:>nmake /f makefile.msc DEBUG=1
Note that building for 64-bit needs something trickier than just
following that recipe from a 64-bit VisualStudio prompt. Fossil will
build, but the resulting executable seems to be linked to a mix of
64-bit and 32-bit DLLs, and that can't possibly be the right answer.
Personally, I've never built fossil other than 32-bit on Windows (and
usually using GCC via MinGW) and I've never had any issues with it not
being a 64-bit build.
There are other configuration options you can choose in a similar way,
see the start of Makefile.msc for the complete list.
