building eduke32 on windows with microsoft visual c++ (incomplete)

get visual c++ express edition from http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ and install it

unfortunately ml.exe is missing from the express edition, lukilly there is a copy in the freely downloadable windows server 2003 ddk which can be obtained from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/default.mspx . Install this and copy ml.exe to your visual studio bin directory

windows.h also seems to be missing, again this can be obtained from the windows server 2003 ddk , i used the win2K version

start the visual studio 2005 command prompt

clean up some environment variables that the vs command prompt forgets to clean

PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCPackages;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\INCLUDE

change to the build subdirectory of your eduke32 tree and run nmake -f Makefile.msvc
