(We've also had reports of success building with the
OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc
- Inside the windows/DEVCPP subdirectory are Dev-C++ project
files for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities.
-The PuTTY team actively use Makefile.vc and Makefile.cyg, so we'll
-probably notice problems with those toolchains fairly quickly. Please

For building on Unix:
Note that Unix PuTTY has mostly only been tested on Linux so far;
portability problems such as BSD-style ptys or different header file
requirements are expected.

- - unix/Makefile.gtk is for non-autoconfigured builds. This makefile
- expects you to change into the `unix' subdirectory, then run `make
- -f Makefile.gtk'.
- - For the graphical utilities, Gtk+-1.2 is required. Gtk+-2.0 is not
- yet supported.

- Both Unix Makefiles have an `install' target. Note that by default
it tries to install `man' pages, which you may need to have built
