Making krb5 for Windows

[Clifford Mc Cullough]

I followed the instructions for building MIT Kerberos krb5 for Windows located at krb5-1.10.2/src/windows/README.  I followed the Traditional Build Method, built the zip file and transferred it to my PC.  My PC is Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

When I got to instruction 4, I used nmake KRB5_DNS_LOOKUP.  I received the error
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'KRB5_DNS_LOOKUP'

Next I tried nmake -f Makefile KRB5_DNS_LOOKUP and received the same error.

Next I tried nmake -f Makefile.  The make ran as far as
NMAKE: fatal error U1073:  don't know how to make 'clients\kswitch\Makefile.in'
This is little surprise since there is no kswitch folder in the c:\krb5\clients folder.

I removed line 436 from krb5\Makefile and reran nmake -f Makefile.  The next error was
NMAKE: fatal error U1073:  don't know how to make 'util\profile\testmod\Makefile.in'
There are no folders in the util\profile folder.

I modified line 459 of krb5\Makefile to remove util\profile\testmod\Makefile and reran.
'util\wshelper\Makefile.in' could not be made.  There is no wshelper folder in krbt\util.

Am I doing something wrong?  I'm not terribly familiar with nmake, but it looks to me like your instructions and Makefile need to be vetted better.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
