2 Instructions to build Bacula with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (free version).
5 (Note: for the moment VSS support has been disabled, and this is not
6 the official way to build the released FD. See README.win32 for the
7 "official" instructions.)

29 Installation instructions:
30 - Visual C++ Express Edition Beta 2:
32 + When asked for Installation Options, only check "Graphical IDE" (MSDN Library is NOT needed).
33 + Remember where you install it (e.g. E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\)
35 - Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Full Download
36 + Run psdk-full.exe, type the directory where you downloaded the cab files.
37 + In a command prompt, run "PSDK-full.bat <temp directory>" (e.g. "PSDK-full.bat E:\temp")
38 + Run <temp directory>\setup.exe
39 + When asked for the installation directory, choose <vc++ install dir>\VC\PlatformSDK
40 (e.g. E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\)
41 + When asked for components, you can safely remove documentation, samples, and all 64-bit tools and libs if you want to save disk space.
44 + extract them all in <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/gettext
47 + delete <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/wx directory
48 + run wxMSW-2.6.1-Setup.exe, and install it to <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/wx
52 + Start VC++ 2005 command prompt (in the start menu)
53 + run "<vc++ install dir>\VC\PlatformSDK\SetEnv.Cmd"
54 + cd <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/zlib
55 + run "nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc" (don't worry about the warnings)
56 + cd <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/pthreads
57 + run "nmake clean VCE" (again, don't worry about the warnings)
58 + (note pthreadVCE.dll has been created in this directory)
60 + Open <dev dir>\depkgs-win32\wx\build\msw\wx.dsw in VC++ 2005
61 + Click on "Yes to all"
62 + In the solution explorer, open core/Setup Headers/setup.h and add, at the end of the file (before the last #endif):
63 #if (_MSC_VER >= 1400) // VC8+
64 #pragma warning(disable : 4996) // Either disable all deprecation warnings,
65 // #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE // Or just turn off warnings about the newly deprecated CRT functions.
67 This is not absolutely necessary, but this will remove annoying warnings.
69 + Launch Build->Configuration Manager, then select "Unicode Release"
70 (when you do this VC++ is busy and inactive for a little moment, don't worry about it .-))
71 and close this window. Then run Build->Build Solution.
72 + Repeat the operation for the "Unicode Debug" configuration if needed.
75 + Open <dev dir>/bacula/src/win32/bacula.sln
76 + Launch Build->Configuration Manager, then select your configuration.
77 + Then run Build->Build Solution (this will build wx-console, bconsole and bacula-fd).
78 + Don't forget to copy pthreadVCE.dll from <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/pthreads and
79 iconv.dll and intl.dll from <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/gettext/bin to
80 the Release and Debug directories in src/win32/baculafd, src/win32/wx-console
81 and src/win32/console.
