Hi, Tor
Personally I think you are right that we need commercial version of VC,
but AFAIK, the dependency is not ntwin32.mak(which is included in MS
Platform SDK, which can be freely downloaded from MS's website), but
some other utilities, such as the ml.exe to make .asm codes. I tried
platform SDK, .NET SDK, and vctoolkit from MS, but all these free tools
don't include the ml.exe. Ideas?

Hi,
when building Harmony on Windows, the makefile in
native-src\win.IA32\makefile includes ntwin32.mak. Could it be that
this "utility" file is only included with the commercial versions of
Visual C++/Studio? If so, and if this is the only dependency on the
commercial version, would it be easily feasible for someone to replace
the file with someone else, making it possible to compile Harmony with
the freely available MS C++ compiler and nmake? Or is it just
something here, that I haven't understood?
