Who succeeded in compiling Crafty Chess source code?

[Michael Loggel]

I downloaded MSVC from microsoft for free, the recommended compiler for
Crafty chess program:

- dotnetfx.exe [.NET framework SDK incl MSVC]
- setup.exe [.NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistrib]

bBut I did not succeed! Files like windows.h or windef.h, winnt.h wtc. where
missing (stdio.h etc. where NOT missing)

What can I do to get them for MSVC???

Thanks a lot.

Also hints on how to compile with gcc (I have Dev-C++ 4.9.8.4 (i.e. version
5 beta)) are very welcome. Here I am currently failing because many #include
<...> files like times.h or filio.h are not found...

I searched the weg and the news groups a lot, but found no usable answers up
to now.

Thanks a lot!

I add the following info:

I downloaded MSVC from microsoft for free, the recommended compiler for
Crafty chess program:

- dotnetfx.exe [.NET framework SDK incl MSVC] [24 MB] - setup.exe [.NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistrib] [111 MB]

Is it really necessary to install all of this Or even more (because
something is still missing)?? Just to compile some piece of source code form
the command line?

But I did not succeed! Files like windows.h or windef.h, winnt.h etc.
where missing (stdio.h etc. where NOT missing)

What can I do to get them for MSVC???

Thanks a lot.

Microsoft, being a commercial software vendor, don't distribute MSVC
for free, at least not any of the recent versions. They may possibly
give away version 1,0.

- setup.exe [.NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistrib]
These are not MSVC, they're the .net framework with support for MSVC.

You have to actually buy MSVC.

This newsgroup only deals with the C language as defined in the ISO/ANSI
standards, and your question is off-topic here. You can possibly find
better help in newsgroups related to your specific compilers and/or
operating system.
