[Opensim-users] How to compile opensim for windows

Tue Dec 30 07:55:30 UTC 2014

Compile.bat hasn't worked for me for years. I suspect it may be sensitive
to having multiple compilers and/or framework versions installed. I just
open the .sln file in Visual Studio and compile it there. Lately I've been
using the new Community version of Visual Studio 2013 with excellent
results.
