Compilation instruction for LDView on Windows
---------------------------------------------

Required components
- Microsoft Platform SDK
- Microsoft WinDDK (for building LDViewThumbs.dll)
- C++ compiler (Visual C++ 6.0 or Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, or 
		Visual Studio Express 2005)
- Microsoft Help Workshop
- Inno Setup 5 with Preprocessor (for installer package)
- boost library
- Set environment variable INCLUDE, LIB and PATH for the 
  components above

Bundled binary libraries
- zlib 1.2.3
- libpng 1.2.12
- unzip32

Compilation of boost 1.37.0
---------------------------

0) If you use Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, make sure MSVCDir is set to 
   the root directory of the C++ e.g.:
 
   set MSVCDir=c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

1) Extract the boost library
2) cd <boost dir>

   cd tools\jam\src
   call build
   cd bin.*
   copy bjam.exe ..\..\..\..
   cd ..\..\..\..
   bjam --with-date_time --with-thread link=static runtime-link=static variant=release stage

3) Add boost directory to environment variable INCLUDE
4) Add boost\stage\lib directory to environment variable LIB

Compilation of LDView
---------------------

Start build.cmd or make.cmd.
