+ YAZ++ is shipped with "makefiles" for the NMAKE tool that comes
+ with <ulink url="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/">
+ Microsoft Visual Studio</ulink>.
+ Version 6 and .NET has been tested. We expect that YAZ++ compiles
+ with version 5 as well.

+ Start a command prompt and switch the sub directory
+ <filename>WIN</filename> where the file <filename>makefile</filename>
+ is located. Customize the installation by editing the
+ <filename>makefile</filename> file (for example by using notepad).
+
+ The following summarizes the most important settings in that file:
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry><term><literal>DEBUG</literal></term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ If set to 1, the software is
+ compiled with debugging libraries (code generation is
+ multi-threaded debug DLL).
+ If set to 0, the software is compiled with release libraries
+ (code generation is multi-threaded DLL).
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry><term><literal>YAZ_DIR</literal></term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Specifies the directory of the YAZ source.
+ </para></listitem>

+ When satisfied with the settings in the makefile, type

+ </para>
+ <tip>
+ <para>
+ If the <filename>nmake</filename> command is not found on your system
+ you probably haven't defined the environment variables required to
+ use that tool. To fix that, find and run the batch file
+ <filename>vcvars32.bat</filename>. You need to run it from within
+ the command prompt or set the environment variables "globally";
+ otherwise it doesn't work.
+ </para>

+ <para>
+ If you wish to recompile YAZ++ - for example if you modify
+ settings in the <filename>makefile</filename> you can delete
+ object files, etc by running.
+ <screen>
+ nmake clean
