From 76ac6b94ed360f9edb1c000e600a33df5a6cbc9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre Joye Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 22:19:44 +0100 Subject: Windows build: alternative makefile This is a separate makefile for MSVC builds. It is deliberately put in another dir than src/ and lib/ to allow a different build experience than the previous - at least during a period. Eventually we should unify. --- winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt | 68 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 68 insertions(+) create mode 100644 winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt (limited to 'winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt') diff --git a/winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt b/winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..488faeb40 --- /dev/null +++ b/winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt @@ -0,0 +1,68 @@ +Building with Visual C++, prerequises +===================================== + This document describes how to compile, build and install curl and libcurl + from sources using the Visual C++ build tool.
