Compiling 5.0.36 Windows with VS C++ 2005 Express

[Martin Gilday]

I am trying to compile MySQL from source for the first time. I do not have any experience with C++. I have followed the guide given with the source. Installed VS C++ 20005 Express and the Platform SDK. Initially trying to run a build gave many errors. A bit of research showed me I needed to link in the lib and include directories from the Platform SDK. However I am still getting 24 failed projects. All LNK2019 unresolved symbol errors. Below is part of the log.

I have skipped parts of the guide INSTALL-WIN-SOURCES as they do not seem relevant to the current export. I have missed out steps 1-4 as I do not have any directory called 'win'.

Is there anything simple I am missing to resolve the dependency?

Thanks,
Martin.
