Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME):

- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0.

  Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They
  depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part
  of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the
  binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA.
  You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this
  will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system.
  Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0
  and earlier.

- Cannot build in a separate directory.

- Build instructions:

   Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities
   ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this
   can be achieved by running
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat
   In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat

   Decide which compilation model you will use:
     MFLAGS=-ML (the default)  Single-threaded, statically linked - libc.lib
     MFLAGS=-MT                Multi-threaded, statically linked  - libcmt.lib
     MFLAGS=-MD                Multi-threaded, dynamically linked - msvcrt.lib

   You need GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer) installed under c:\usr. If
   you haven't yet, build and install GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer)
   using the same MFLAGS. Then come back to here, to build GNU gettext.

   For shared library (DLL):

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD

   For static library:

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD

   If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to
   unpack the gettext sources twice in different directories. Don't mix
   the two formats; you cannot use the libintl.h generated for the static
   library together with the shared library or vice versa.

   Install it:

         nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install
   or
         nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install

- Installation:

   Complete and automatic installation:

         nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
      or
         nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory

      By default, the compiled package is installed under c:\usr. You can
      specify a different directory by giving the installation base directory
      in a PREFIX=... option in the install step. (DON'T give the PREFIX
      already in the build step! This won't work.) You can also omit the
      PREFIX=... option, thus installing everything under c:\usr, and then
      move the installed package as a whole from c:\usr to a different
      location.
