   1 This is the README for PuTTY, a free Win32 Telnet and SSH client.

   3 The provided Makefile is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake' to
   4 build both putty.exe (the main program) and pscp.exe (an SCP
   5 client). The comment at the top of the Makefile gives extra build
   6 options you can use to build in limited Win32s compatibility, a hack
   7 to pass SSH through some types of firewall, and `official' version
   8 numbers.

  10 MS Visual Studio version 6 falls over on the nasty macros in ssh.c.
  11 This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit is the /ZI compiler
  12 option (debug info generation: Edit and Continue). To avoid this
  13 problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6, you should:
  14  - right-click ssh.c in the FileView
  15  - click Settings
  16  - select the C/C++ tab and the General category
  17  - under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program
  18    Database for Edit and Continue'.
  19 Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner
  20 value, such as /Zi.
