Building Sh on Win32 - Build Environment

Build Environment

Sh is supported under the following flavours of Microsoft Visual C++:

A build environment consists of setting up several environment variables (PATH, INCLUDE and LIB). PATH is used to search for executables and DLLs. INCLUDE is used by the compiler to search for header files. LIB is used by the linker to search path for libraries. Given below are the details concerning what software needs to be installed and the appropriate environment variable settings for each of the supported build environments.

Once the above software has been installed, the commands given below will setup an appropriate build environment. These commands assume that the software was installed into the default locations. If this is not the case then the values of VCDIR, MSSDK and VSNET will need to be changed to reflect this.

Sh uses the Standard C++ Library and the .NET Framework SDK installs the DLLs (msvcp71.dll) and Symbols (msvcp71.pdb) but is missing the Import Library (msvcprt.lib) needed during linking. However, given access to the DLL, you can generate an Import Library with the following:

echo LIBRARY msvcp71.dll > msvcprt.def
echo EXPORTS >> msvcprt.def
dumpbin /exports msvcp71.dll | sed -nf exports.sed >> msvcprt.def
lib /def:msvcprt.def /machine:x86

This requires sed, which is provided with UnxUtils. You will also need to download the sed script, exports.sed.
