[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to try to build the project myself. Can you please update the Build 
Instructions on the Wiki?

thanks

which Windows version do you use (Vista, 7) ? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

XP 32b and 7 64b, but for now I'm going to try and build on the XP 32b machine 
first

you can build the 32 bit version now, but you'd need at least Vista:
- install https://npackd.appspot.com/p/npackd-dev-i686-w64/1.18 from the 
libraries repository (see 
http://code.google.com/p/windows-package-manager/wiki/LibrariesRepository)
- either create a copy of the whole directory installed in the previous step or 
make all files writable
- call Build.bat

the build instructions are now in wpmcpp/BUILD.txt, Wiki is updated.

you can build the 64 bit version now, but you'd need at least Vista:
- install https://npackd.appspot.com/p/npackd-dev-x86_64-w64/1.18.1 from the 
libraries repository (see 
http://code.google.com/p/windows-package-manager/wiki/LibrariesRepository)
- either create a copy of the whole directory installed in the previous step or 
make all files writable
- call Build64.bat

I do not plan to make the program build working on XP.

Thanks for the comments. Why exactly is Vista a minimum build requirement?

I use mklink.exe in some package installation scripts, which is available since 
Vista.
