Dear MonetDB team,
I am trying to build a MonetDB client on Windows, following the instructions in "1.24 Building MonetDB On Windows". In every package's folder named "NT" is a file named "rules.msc" which references: ....\buildtools\conf\winrules.msc. But none of the (nightly or release) tarballs contains the buildtools folder.
My question: are the tarballs not expected to be built from, and should I choose a different route, or is the reference obsolete and can I fix this myself until the distro is fixed?
If you want to build from sources on Windows, it is recommended to use a Mercurial clone. We only test that route.
Background: Actually all I need is the file mapilib.lib, in order to be able to use the mapi programming interface using mapilib.dll. Since this file is not provided, I hope to create it myself by building the clients component (on Win64).
This file should be provided in the latest release (Jun2010-SP2).
