4 | If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of |
5 | Makefiles and equivalents: |
7603011f |
6 | |
58de2f3c |
7 | - Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems. |
8 | Type `nmake -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |

10 | (We've also had one report of success building with the |
11 | OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc |
12 | with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we |
13 | haven't tried this ourselves.) |
14 | |

15 | - Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files |
16 | for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These |
17 | have been tested on Visual Studio 6. |
18 | |
19 | You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the |
20 | corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example, |
21 | MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp |
22 | builds Plink, and so on. |
23 | |

24 | - Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f |
25 | Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |
26 | |
27 | - Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type `make -f |
28 | Makefile.cyg' to build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by |
29 | default the Pageant WinNT security features and the multiple |
30 | monitor support are excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the |
31 | time of writing this Cygwin doesn't include the necessary |
32 | headers. |
33 | |
2c228de6 |
34 | - Makefile.lcc is for lcc-win32. Type `make -f Makefile.lcc'. (You |
35 | will probably need to specify COMPAT=-DNO_MULTIMON.) |
36 | |
7603011f |
37 | All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file |
38 | `Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections |
39 | to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and |
40 | corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves. |

46 | If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the |
47 | Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line |
48 | reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as |
49 | ours. |
