When trying to build the current development version (from http://botan.randombit.net/download.html) 1.11.17 in Windows I am encountering error when running nmake

Which compiler do you use? MSVC is only supported in version 2013 and newer.

[erotavlas]

I was using msvc in Visual Studio 2012. Same as I used for Botan version 1.10.9

[webmaster128]

Visual Studio 2012 is not supported anymore in Botan 1.11.x, sorry.
