# Building OpenSP

### Win32

Only Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is supported. Also, Perl 5 is required; the executable must be on your PATH.

To build on the command line, ensure that the directories containing `msdev` and `nmake` are in your path, typically by executing the command:

    path C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/Common/MSDev98/Bin;
        C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/Bin;%path%

(all in one long line) then run the command:

    build-win32.bat

To build using the Visual Studio GUI, open the workspace `SP.dsw` and build the `Win32 Release` configuration of the `all` project. You must first do a command-line build, however, to get the perl-generated files.

### Unix

Use the autoconf support.
