Hi Bram, After someone complained to me that my new vim builds could not run on Windows XP, I have realized that MSVC 11 (VS2012) defaults to build for Windows Vista and later, even if WINVER is set to 0x0400 (or 0x0501) and the Windows SDK 7.1A is used. I suggest we patch Make_mvc.mak this way:
--- Make_mvc.mak.orig Wed Aug 20 00:16:40 2014 +++ Make_mvc.mak Wed Aug 20 00:19:01 2014 @@ -657,6 +657,10 @@ SUBSYSTEM = console !endif +!if "$(SUBSYSTEM_VER)" != "" +SUBSYSTEM = $(SUBSYSTEM),$(SUBSYSTEM_VER) +!endif + !if "$(GUI)" == "yes" && "$(DIRECTX)" == "yes" CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) $(DIRECTX_DEFS) GUI_INCL = $(GUI_INCL) $(DIRECTX_INCL) After this change I can now build vim that can run on Windows XP: set SDK_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include set CL=/D_USING_V110_SDK71_ nmake -f Make_mvc.mak ... WINVER=0x0501 SUBSYSTEM_VER=5.01 Please consider whether this is a good approach.
