Re: Update Windows Build Instructions

["RobiOneKenobi" <robionekenobi () bluewin ch>]

Hi,

 

I simply copied the following file (coming from older Dev Kit) 

 

                Win32.mak

 

to the Windows Kits (either 8.0 or 8.1)

 

                C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows\Kits\8.[0|1]\Include\Um

 

Regards

Robert

Which installs don't have it?  I just installed VC 2013 Community
Edition at home (the Win7 machine was at work), this time a32-bit Win8
and it also has the file, but I again needed to update the INCLUDE path:

SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include

 

Maybe your Win7 SDK came from an earlier install of the Platform SDK?  I think mine did, I do have a separate entry for 
it in the Add\Remove Programs list.  I don't think VS2013 installs that SDK, only the Win 8 ones which are missing the 
file.

 

I really should try removing VS2013, removing the Win 7 SDK, checking for detritus and re-installing VS2013 CE again.

Do we really need it?  It says on the top:

# Win32.Mak - Win32 application master NMAKE definitions file for the
#     Microsoft Windows SDK programming samples

Which makes it sound like its intended for the programming samples and
just setups up a bunch of variables/options.

 

I think we do need some of the vars.  I suppose we could replicate the bits we need in our own makefile.

 

However, if I ever (or someone else assists) get the Windows CMake build fully operational, all this will go away as we 
can drop the nmake support.
