OOo Windows compile with MS VC Toolkit 2003
some time ago we had some hope to make OOo compile with MS VC Toolkit 2003, which is freely available. This toolkit comes even with the optimizing compiler but some items are missing which are needed to complete a OOo build tool chain.
It just comes with a cl.exe and link.exe, things like a nmake tool are missing. Also in the library section some things are missing: only static C-Runtime libraries are available, the shared one are missing as well as many other libs needed for Win system integration. as a consequence (or vice versa), the same applies for the header files. some of the tools, header files and libraries are available with some versions of free downloadalbe SDKs but's almost impossible to get the complete set of needed thing for free.
The configure switches for all these different flavors of toolkits, sdk's seem unmaintainable for me so I (as well as Volker) will not put more effort into this at this time.
