Yikes Right, first off you need to get the Microsoft Platform SDK. This contains all the windows header files and system header files that will be required when compiling. It's free to download, get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ It's a massive download. You probably only want the core SDK and perhaps the Internet SDK if you're that way inclined. Then you want the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK. This contains the compiler (cl.exe and linker (link.exe)). Don't worry - the stuff you compile with it won't require the .NET framework to be installed on your user's machines: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9B3A2CA6-3647-4 070-9F41-A333C6B9181D&displaylang=en Then you need to set your environment variables so the compiler can find the headers and other files it needs when compiling. Mine are set to: INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\.;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\. LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Lib\.;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib\. You should also add this to your PATH environment variable: C:\Perl\bin\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bi n\Win64;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin Now nmake, cl, and link will all work, and you MIGHT even be able to compile FreeImage. GOOD LUCK :) Note that using the downloadable .NET SDK means that you cannot optimize your binaries (so they will be big and slow). I recommend grabbing a copy of VS .NET 2003 (what I have at home). If you're in education you can get it extra-cheap (like I did...)
