- This is the README for PuTTY, a free Win32 Telnet and SSH client.
- The provided Makefile is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake' to
- build both putty.exe (the main program) and pscp.exe (an SCP
- client). The comment at the top of the Makefile gives extra build
- options you can use to build in limited Win32s compatibility, a hack
- to pass SSH through some types of firewall, and `official' version
- numbers.
- MS Visual Studio version 6 falls over on the nasty macros in ssh.c.
- This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit is the /ZI compiler
- option (debug info generation: Edit and Continue). To avoid this
- problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6, you should:
- - right-click ssh.c in the FileView
- - click Settings
- - select the C/C++ tab and the General category
- - under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program
- Database for Edit and Continue'.
- Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner
- value, such as /Zi.
- For other compilers, some alternative Makefiles are provided. These
- Makefiles are generated automatically from the master `Makefile' by
- the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections to the
- script are more useful than additions and corrections to the
- alternative Makefiles themselves.
- The PuTTY home web site is
- http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
- Bug reports and feature requests should be sent to
- <putty-bugs@lists.tartarus.org>. PLEASE read the section on the web
- site about how to report bugs effectively. Do NOT send one-line
- reports saying `it doesn't work'!
- See the file LICENCE for the licence conditions.
