Hello Matt,



Sure, here is what we currently do.



Setup 32 or 64bit Visual Studio environment



"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86



Place getopt.c from ftp://ftp.es.ele.tue.nl/pub/users/jos/poster/getopt.c in the source directory.



Copy attached tools.ini file into the source directory.

It uses these flags for 64bit:

CFLAGSW  = /Zi -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT_H=0 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=0 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=0 -DHAVE_POSIX_DECLS=0 -DHAVE_LINK=0 -DHAVE_SYMLINK=0 -DHAVE_DECL_ASCTIME_R=0 -Dssize_t=__int64 -DHAVE_STRTOLL=0 -DRESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS -DSUPPRESS_TZDIR



Run nmake



Regards

Manuela Friedrich

Thanks for this.  May I request a brief summary of how to compile in Visual Studio, starting from sources to final output?  I'm not sure which flags to set, where to set them, how to work with the makefile vs. Visual Studio's project files, etc.



Thanks,
Matt

Thanks, Paul!

Your patches work.
We can no build zic.exe and zdump.exe from the latest git revision.

I guess the Microsoft compiler is within its rights, since C89 and later say that portable applications are not allowed to redefine 'localtime'. Proposed patch attached (it's the first patch; it's not what you suggested, but I hope it works).

I'm reluctant to base this on an empty TZDIR, partly because it's confusing (empty file names do not work with POSIX), and partly because skipping TZDIR has security implications on POSIX platforms. However, I suppose we can add a macro to do something similar. Proposed patch attached (it's the 2nd patch).
