Ascent Win32/64 Libraries Distribution
======================================

Installation Instructions:
Navigate to the directory of your chosen compiler (adjust pathes if necessary):

  VS 2003: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003Vc7
  VS 2005: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8VC
  VS 2008: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VC

Copy the files in VCinclude to VCinclude.
Copy the files in VClib to VClib.

Next, you need to compile the zlib and PCRE libraries.
Depending on your compiler, open the solution under Sources:
  
  VS 2003: VC71-solution.sln
  VS 2005: VC80-solution.sln
  VS 2008: VC90-solution.sln

Depending on the architecture you want to build for, build the configuration:

  Release/Win32 if you are under Win32,
  Release/x64 if you are under Win64.

This should make a folder called Output_Release, or Output_x64_Release if you are building for X64.
In this folder you should find pcre.lib and zlib.lib.

Copy these two .lib files into:

  (for Win32)
  VS 2003: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003Vc7lib
  VS 2005: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8VClib
  VS 2008: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VClib

  (for Win64)
  VS 2005: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8VClibamd64
  VS 2008: C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VClibamd64

The two DLL files provided with this distribution should go in your binary folder, OR
under C:WindowsSystem32.

This only has to be done once per compiler!
When you update ascent, this doesn't need to be done each time.

Now you can build Ascent as normal.

For the people who are new or get errors compiling do that - Also don't forget to setup visual studios to compile it (You need to add some folders to the include)
