Build Tools

Windows

The majority of the Synchronet executable files and libraries for Windows are (as of v3.16 development, started October 10, 2011) built with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express (free).

Certain GUI components (e.g. Synchronet Control Panel, sbbsctrl.exe) are currently built with Borland C++Builder 6, with efforts under way to transition to Embarcadero Technologies C++Builder (not free).

The Synchronet Windows 95 FOSSIL driver (sbbsexec.vxd) cannot currently be rebuilt with modern Windows tools and SDKs.

The 16-bit portion of the Synchronet FOSSIL driver (dosxtrn.exe) can be rebuilt using Microsoft Visual C++ v1.52 (16-bit).

UNIX

GNU C/C++ (gcc) is officially supported on Unix/Linux platforms, while other compilers (e.g Intel C Compiler) may be used by experienced programmers.
