I am trying to build PoDoFo (0.9.3) for Windows using Visual C++ 2008 Express. Is OpenSSL required for this?
Yes, you have to add your OpenSSL directory manually to the include directories of PoDoFo project.

I'm using VS2017 and Windows10.
I'm trying to install Boost library but I cannot find any b2, bjam file in my
folder after I executed bootstrap.bat.
There is no any sign of error and I downloaded Version 1.65.1.
My MSBuild proj file is referencing Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets. Even though microsoft says MSBuild is standalone installation, i dont think this file is part of MSBuild.
I am trying to setup a build server. and i don't see this file at this location. We have installed .Net 4.5.2 installed on that server.
C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\vXX.X\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets
After researching I found, I have to install VisualStudio to get this at that location.
Questions
Is there any way to install this Target (and other Targets at this location) without having to install visual studio?
Yes, you can use the MSBuild.Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.targets package.
I would like to build zeromq on Visual Studio Community without libsodium.
Were and how could I disable it?
You can try to generate the libzmq solution using CMake. You should be able to tell CMake to disable libsodium by invoking it like this: cmake -DWITH_TWEETNACL=0 ..
I am open to either a Visual Studio answer or a MinGW answer. I just finished building LLVM 3.2 using CMake and Visual Studio 2010. Everything went smoothly, but I have no llvm-config. Do I need it? Every example I see on the intertubes makes use of that tool. If I don't need it, how do I configure my project to make use of LLVM?
To be clear, I am not trying to use LLVM tools/compilers (like clang and whatnot). I am trying to write C++ code that uses the LLVM libraries to produce LLVM IR and even compile that stuff. I setup my include and lib folders. I ran llvm-config in Linux and saw a long list of macros and libraries.
I have a wonderful folder full of goodies. It just has no llvm-config in there: C:\Program Files (x86)\LLVM\
llvm-config does not exist in windows prebuilt binaries. You need to compile from the source code to get it.
Grab CMAKE > 3.5 , install it and make sure you add it to PATH.
Download Visual Studio 2019
Donwload the source code (9.0.1 is the latest as I'm writing this)
Extract the source code
Cd into the root of the llvm source-code
In cmd, type cmake . this will generate Visual Studio 2019 sln.
open sln file(LLVM.sln), change the build type to Rlease, build the whole project
navigate to your Rlease\bin, and there you have your llvm-config.exe
If you have built the LLVM in debug version all the executables (including llvm-config) have been placed in your build directory (containing Visual Studio project and solution files) in bin/Debug/ subdirectory. In case of release build replace Debug with Release.
If you are interested in using LLVM on Windows more than building it, check out Windows snapshot builds.
Recently I am trying to compile the source code of FFTW in Visual studio 2010. I followed the instruction from the FFTW website. I downloaded the source code fftw-3.3.2.zip and corresponding vs 2010 package fftw-3.3-libs-visual-studio-2010.zip.
I got four projects from the solution, bench, benchf, libfftw-3.3, libfftwf-3.3
But on compiling I got following errors on each of the project:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\x64\Microsoft.Cpp.x64.Targets(514,5): error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (Windows7.1SDK) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected.
which points to the following content
I have tried the debug/release build for both x64 and win32, none of them worked.
Could anyone please help me on this?
It seems that it can be solved without installing the Windows 7.1 SDK
Right click on the 'libfftw-3.3' project and selected properties
Go to Configuration Properties -> General
Switch 'Platfrom Toolset' from 'Windows7.1SDK' to 'v100'
Recompile
Works for the projects 'libfftwf-3.3' and 'libfftw-3.3'
The project 'bench' and 'benchf' are failing to build:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '....\libbench2\aligned-main.c': No such file or directory
Can be solved by removing the aligned-main.c from both projects.
You can also use CMake - I created this CMake file for fftw-3.3.2 which I tested with Visual Studio 2010 x64:
https://bitbucket.org/Vertexwahn/cmakedemos/src/670f189321d89dbd61ddc8c446c91578305f9da2/fftw-3.3.2/CMakeLists.txt?at=default
You also need this config.h file:
https://bitbucket.org/Vertexwahn/cmakedemos/src/670f189321d89dbd61ddc8c446c91578305f9da2/fftw-3.3.2/config.h?at=default
It looks like you need to install the Windows 7.1 SDK, if you have already installed it, try reinstalling it incase it is corrupted.
You can download the 7.1 SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
