Hello! I wanted to build Factor, so I downloaded and installed the Win 7 SDK as suggested here: https://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Requirements I only selected two items during the installation: "Windows Headers and Libraries" and "Visual C++ Compilers". The nmake was in the latter package, I'm not sure I needed the first one.
Then I went to c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\ and started "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command Prompt.lnk", because I'm on a 64-bit Win 8.1 PC. Here's what happened next: ---start-console-dump--- Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x64 tools.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\amd64\nmake.EXE"' : return code '0x2' Stop. Build failed. ---end-console-dump--- Looks like nmake can't locate the 'stdint.h'. What's the deal with that? Googling a bit, it looks like that I need a later version of the toolkit. Something with "Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0" in it, not "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/126279/c99-stdint-h-header-and-ms-visual-studio So, at least the build instructions on https://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Requirements are incorrect, right? Win 7 SDK is not good enough. Anyway, I followed one of the links on StackOverflow to download the portable version of stdint.h: http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/pstdint.h I renamed it and placed in c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\stdint.h That moved me on to the next error: ---start-console-dump--- c:\Programs\Dev\factor.git>build.cmd x86-64 cl.exe detected.

Why won't it build? ---=====--- Александр ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
