It is not quite correct.
He meant (implied) "Microsoft Developer Studio" rather "Visual C++
Win32 SDK"

By some reason ROOT Manual missed to explain how to build the ROOT tests
under Windows. ftp://root.cern.ch/root/doc/chapter18.pdf
To see what I am speaking about you need to find
1. "Microsoft Studio .NET command prompt" icon
2. "Click" that icon to get the famous "MS DOS black Window"
3. At this point you should be able to invoke the MVC++ compiler "by
hand"
Just type "cl" to see:
C:\Documents and Settings\fine >cl
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.00.9466 for
80x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2001. All rights reserved.
usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
4. Make sure your ROOT-related env. variable are set properly
just type
C:\work>set ROOT
ROOTSYS=c:\cygwin\home\fine\work\ROOT\3.10.02\root
C:\work> PATH
If you installed ROOT from http://root.bnl.gov then all variables are
to be set automatically for you (one click installation)
5. If you don't have the proper variable installed I would advice to
create a simple "setRoot.bat" batch file:
set ROOTSYS=" where your ROOT system was installed"
PATH "%ROOTSYS%\bin";%PATH%
Set LIB="%ROOTSYS%\lib";%LIB%
Set INCLUDE="%ROOTSYS%\include";%INCLUDE%
5. Start that batch file from the "Command Prompt"
6. cd %ROOTSYS%\test
7. nmake -f Makefile.win32
8. dir *.exe
9. dir *.dll
You should see the bunch of the executable that "nmake" with
Makefile.win32" has produced. Just start either to make sure they are
Ok.
The proper "make rule" to produce the ROOTCint Dictionary under Windows
can be found there and it is:
$(EVENTSO): $(EVENTO)
BINDEXPLIB $* $(EVENTO) > $*.def
lib -nologo -MACHINE:IX86 $(EVENTO) -def:$*.def
$(OutPutOpt)$(EVENTLIB)
$(LD) $(SOFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(EVENTO) $*.exp $(LIBS)
$(OutPutOpt)$(EVENTSO)
@echo "$(EVENTSO) done"
Where "EVENTO" should be list of YOUR object files and EVENTSO is the
name of the YOUR DLL.
I wonder of one can explain and share with us how to add this step to
the regular ".NET" Solution.
If you need more concrete assistance please send me your directory (zip
or tar file) and I'll create the proper Makefile and send you it back,
Note: Sometimes one can not send me the E-mail with the attachments.
By this reason I would advice to upload your stuff on
some Web page and send me the link top download.
Hope this helps.
