162 Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 *msvc-2003-toolkit*
163 -----------------------
164
165 NOTE: this most likely does not work
166
167 You could download the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 from
168 http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
169 Unfortunately this URL is no longer valid. Unofficial downloads appear to be
170 available from links mentioned on these pages (use at your own risk):
171 http://www.filewatcher.com/m/VCToolkitSetup.exe.32952488.0.0.html
172 http://feargame.net/wiki/index.php?title=Building_Source_with_the_VC2003_Toolkit
173
174 This contains the command-line tools (compiler, linker, CRT headers,
175 and libraries) for Visual Studio .NET 2003, but not the Visual Studio IDE.
176 To compile and debug Vim with the VC2003 Toolkit, you will also need
177 |ms-platform-sdk|, |dotnet-1.1-redist|, |dotnet-1.1-sdk|,
178 and |windbg-download|.
179
180 It's easier to download Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, |msvc-2008-express|,
181 which is freely available in perpetuity.
182
183 The free Code::Blocks IDE works with the VC2003 Toolkit, as described at
184 http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Integrating_Microsoft_Visual_Toolkit_2003_with_Code::Blocks_IDE
185 (This site also takes you through configuring a number of other
186 free C compilers for Win32.)
187
188 To compile Vim using the VC2003 Toolkit and Make_mvc.mak, you must first
189 execute the following commands in a cmd.exe window (the msvcsetup.bat batch
190 file can be used):
191
192 set PATH=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;%PATH%
193 call "%VCToolkitInstallDir%vcvars32.bat"
194 set MSVCVer=7.1
195 call "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK\SetEnv.Cmd"
196 set LIB=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib;%LIB%
197
198 Now you can build Vim with Make_mvc.mak.
199
200
201 Getting the Windows Platform SDK *ms-platform-sdk*
202
203 You will also need a copy of the Windows Platform SDK. Specifically, you need
204 the Windows Core SDK subset of the Platform SDK, which contains the Windows
205 headers and libraries. You need to search for it, Microsoft keeps changing
206 the URL.
207
208
209 Getting the .NET Framework 1.1 Runtime *dotnet-1.1-redist*
210
211 You need the .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package from
212 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3
213 or from Windows Update:
214 http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
215 This is needed to install |dotnet-1.1-sdk|. It also contains cvtres.exe,
216 which is needed to link Vim.
217
218
219 Getting the .NET Framework 1.1 SDK *dotnet-1.1-sdk*
220
221 You need the .NET Framework 1.1 SDK from
222 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b3a2ca6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d
223 This contains some additional libraries needed to compile Vim,
224 such as msvcrt.lib. You must install |dotnet-1.1-redist| before
225 installing the .NET 1.1 SDK.
226
227
228 Getting the WinDbg debugger *windbg-download*
229
230 The Debugging Tools for Windows can be downloaded from
231 http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
232 This includes the WinDbg debugger, which you will want if you ever need
233 to debug Vim itself. An earlier version of the Debugging Tools
234 is also available through the Platform SDK, |ms-platform-sdk|.
