Prosody installation guide: Visual Studio Project files

For your convenience, Visual Studio project files are provided which build all the libraries and test programs. They are organised in a single workspace, $(TiNG)/VisualStudio/gen-WINNT/Prosody_TiNG.dsw which also contains a dummy project (called _DUMMY_ALL_PROJECTS) which contains no code but depends on all the test and diag projects. This allows you to select it as the active project and hit F7 to build all the test and diag programs.

Note that these project files are compatible with a wide range of versions of Visual Studio, starting at version 5.0, so newer versions may ask permission to convert them to a newer format. You must permit this conversion to use the projects with such a version of Visual Studio.

These projects can build all the components mentioned in Prosody installation guide: building software components.
