no ./win folder with makefile.vc does exist. Any idea ?

See also ticket 740a7ac60d of 2017-05-03.

I have build-up a fist sketch of an nmake build system.

I have prepared a branch [bug-604bb68b5c-nmake] with commit [2babef91c5]. Unfortunately, user "oehhar" has no write access to the repository, so it did not commit.

May I ask for commit rights for oehhar or do you prefer a patch ?

Thank you, Harald

Here is the patch starting from checkin [9c32a526ed] for your convenience.

Enjoy, Harald

Thank you, Kevin.

The sync passed now.

Thanks, Harald

Merged by commit [b5c41cdeb6].

The build requires cygwin or linux to prepare the build. Alex and/or Christian may care to solve those dependencies by working on a TEA build.

Bug closed.

Thank you, Harald
