I'd be really grateful for a brief overview of how the Graphviz distribution for Windows actually gets built*.
The Visual Studio project files in this repo are incomplete (lacking for example rules to run Bison/Flex) but most importantly there is no project to build libltdl, which seems to be a fundamental requirement for loading the various layout and rendering engines. I tried assembling a VS project on the basis of the makefile rules but this does not seem to cover all options.
Any help welcomed. It would be great to be able to build and debug the suite in Visual Studio and I'd be more than happy to put in the work to get a complete VS solution.
Thanks.
*I tried compiling using the msys environment but that fails early on as well ...

The Windows build is handled by the bat file windows/build.bat in the source tree. (I admit up front that the process is messier than it should be.)
The build directory is graphviz2; the binaries from a build are put into the bin directory; the add-on directory contains stable binary and source files from third-party libraries; the release directory is the main target directory. It is assumed the Windows version of gtk++ and Qt have been installed.
The process is as follows:
- clean up previous build
- wget the current Graphviz source from www.graphviz.org, unpackage it, and rename it graphviz2. (Note that the source package contains all of the necessary C/C++ source files. All of the various preprocessing tools such as bison and flex have already been run.)
- the script moves the FEATURE file from graphviz2/windows to graphviz2
- it copies the source for the gd, GTS and ann libraries from add-on into graphviz2/lib. These are standard release versions of the these libraries found on the web
- it copies the standard glut.h from add-on/GL in graphviz2/cmd/smyrna/GL
- it copies the contents of add-on/release into release. The list of these files is given in the attached file release.txt. (Note that some of these files are actually part of the source package. I believe later in the script the current versions of these files are copied into release, so these earlier copies are useless.)
- it copies add-on/*.lib into release/bin. The only file involved is gts.lib. As gts is built from source, I don't know why this is done.
- exported include files are copied from graphviz2 into release/include/graphviz
- some Windows-specific files are copied into graphviz2
- devenv is called on graphviz.sln to build the release version
- stable third-party .dll and .exe files are copied from add-on to release/bin. The attached file dll.txt contains a list of these.
- the release exe and dll files are copies from bin to release/bin; the dll and lib files are copied into release/lib/release. In addition, dot and gxl2gv are copied multiple times as other programs are just aliases for these.
- several smyrna and gvedit files are copied from graphviz2 into the release directory
- devenv is called on graphviz.sln to build the debug version
- the dll and lib files are copied from bin to release/lib/debug
- devenv is called on graphviz-msi/setup/setup.sln (this is the same as graphviz2/windows/windows-msi/setup/setup.sln.) to create the .msi package. This is renamed to contain the date and scp'ed to www.graphviz.org.
- finally, 7z is called to create a .zip file from the release directory. This is also renamed to contain the date and scp'ed to www.graphviz.org.
As suggested, the main clean up would be have the script only use files from the current source tree graphviz2 when available, rather than storing them separately in some cache directory like add-on or graphviz-msi.
If anyone wants to rationalize this or provide a 64-bit build, it would be much appreciated.

I'd be really grateful for a brief overview of how the Graphviz distribution for Windows actually gets built*.
The Visual Studio project files in this repo are incomplete (lacking for example rules to run Bison/Flex) but most importantly there is no project to build libltdl, which seems to be a fundamental requirement for loading the various layout and rendering engines. I tried assembling a VS project on the basis of the makefile rules but this does not seem to cover all options.
Any help welcomed. It would be great to be able to build and debug the suite in Visual Studio and I'd be more than happy to put in the work to get a complete VS solution.
Thanks.
*I tried compiling using the msys environment but that fails early on as well ...
