| | 1 | This is the README for the source archive of PuTTY, a free Win32 |
| | 2 | Telnet and SSH client. |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide three |
| | 5 | Makefiles: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - Makefile.vc is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake -f |
| | 8 | Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | - Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f |
| | 11 | Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | - Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type `make -f |
| | 14 | Makefile.cyg' to build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by |
| | 15 | default the Pageant WinNT security features and the multiple |
| | 16 | monitor support are excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the |
| | 17 | time of writing this Cygwin doesn't include the necessary |
| | 18 | headers. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | If you have MS Visual Studio version 6 and you want to build a |
| | 21 | DevStudio project for GUI editing and debugging, you should be aware |
| | 22 | that the default GUI configuration of the compiler falls over on the |
| | 23 | nasty macros in ssh.c. This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit |
| | 24 | is the /ZI compiler option (debug info generation: Edit and |
| | 25 | Continue). To avoid this problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6, |
| | 26 | you should: |
| | 27 | - right-click ssh.c in the FileView |
| | 28 | - click Settings |
| | 29 | - select the C/C++ tab and the General category |
| | 30 | - under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program |
| | 31 | Database for Edit and Continue'. |
| | 32 | Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner |
| | 33 | value, such as /Zi. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file |
| | 36 | `Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections |
| | 37 | to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and |
| | 38 | corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves. |

| | 44 | If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the |
| | 45 | Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line |
| | 46 | reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as |
| | 47 | ours. |
