<html><head> <title>Building Cyrus SASL on Windows</title> </head> <body> <h1>Building Cyrus SASL on Windows</h1> <h2>Prerequisites</h2> <ul> <li>Visual Studio. We have tested Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio 7 (.NET). <li>The latest Platform SDK. We've tested November 2001. <li>If you are building directly from CVS, you'll need the <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> Unix-compatibility environment to create the <tt>_init.c</tt> files needed for dynamic loading. Cygwin is <em>not</em> required for building from our tar distribution. </ul> <h2>Step by step</h2> These directions assume that you've untarred the library or used CVS and the sources are in <tt>C:\SASL</tt>. <h3>preparing to build (cvs only!)</h3> Start a cygwin shell and create the dynamic loading stubs: <pre> % cd /cygdrive/c/sasl/plugins % sh makeinit.sh </pre> <h3>building using NMake</h3> Open a "Windows 2000 build environment" from the SDK's Start Menu and use "<tt>nmake /f NTMakefile</tt>" to build: <pre> Targeting Windows 2000 and IE 5.0 RETAIL C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK> cd \sasl C:\sasl> cd lib C:\sasl\lib> nmake /f NTMakefile ... C:\sasl\lib> cd ..\plugins C:\sasl\plugins> nmake /f NTMakefile </pre> To build a debug verison, use "<tt>nmake /f NTMakefile CFG=Debug</tt>". For a production version, "<tt>nmake /f NTMakefile CFG=Release</tt>". <h3>testing</h3> <h3>creating an MSI</h3> </body> </html>
