Open the appropriate solution files (.sln) in the build subdirectory and build them one by one. Previously there was only one huge solution, but this monolithic approach was abandoned for two reasons:

• MSVS becomes awfully slow and eats lots of memory when you have a massive amount of projects in one solution.

• Having all sorts of unrelated projects in one solution makes it harder for people wanting to hack on, play around with or package only individual projects or groups of projects. E.g. people hacking on Telepathy might not want to be bothered with 100+ GStreamer modules and vice versa.

The output ends up in build/windows/{Debug,Release,ReleaseWdkCrt} and will be similar to the UNIX layout.

Note that binaries built by the Debug and Release configurations depend on msvcr90[d].dll, whilst those built by ReleaseWdkCrt depend on msvcrt.dll. The latter does however require the Windows Driver Kit. There's some background info on how this is achieved here.

OABuild v1 (obsolete/unmaintained)

bzr branch http://projects.collabora.co.uk/~oleavr/branches/OABuild/
cd OABuild
bootstrap

If all went well you should now be able to open oabuild.sln, go Build Solution and wait a few minutes.

The output ends up in the Debug subdirectory for debug builds and Release for release builds. The output will be similar to the UNIX layout, header-files in include, .lib files for linking in lib, and executables, runtime libraries and .NET assemblies in bin.
