Hi,this is my first post,I want to comment a problem i have when i try to build Mini Vmac 3.4.1 in Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.I followed the instructions on the Mini Vmac webpage,but when i try to build the program,Visual C++ says this:
------ Build started: Project: minivmac, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========
Here are my lines:

I even tried with just the first line (maybe typing mistakes) but still nothing!
Any help would be appreciated!

(from gryphel.com/c/mail)

‘windows.h’ is a header file that should have been included with the development environment. So Visual C++ may not be completely installed. You could try installing a more recent Visual C++ version, and then use the appropriate ‘-ev’ option.

By the way, if you simply want a custom variation, rather than to examine and work on the source code, you can use the Variations Service. It is pretty automated, so that it is much faster for me to build dozens of variations than it is to answer a single question about how to compile Mini vMac.
