System Requirements

To run which binaries, you need Windows NT 3.1 or newer. Note that Windows 95/98/Me are not supported by these binaries.

To compile from source, you need Visual C++, version 2 or newer, and you need to compile with MiniCRT. Free versions of Visual C++ are included in the Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools, Windows SDK 7.1 (2010), or Windows SDK 7.0 (2008).

Build instructions

1. Open a command prompt to your version of Visual C++ and set up your environment.
2. Unpack and enter the which source tree.
3. Unpack the minicrt source tree within the which source tree in a directory called "crt".
4. Most of the time, just run "nmake".

Compilation options

Compilation options can be used by passing arguments to NMAKE.

DEBUG=	Enable debug code. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled.) Default is 0.
UNICODE=	Compile a Unicode or ANSI version of the binary. Unicode is more useful on NT, but ANSI is required to run on Windows 95. Valid values are 1 (Unicode) or 0 (ANSI.) Default is 1.
