*** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF VISUAL STUDIO 2013 (OR LATER) ***
The Makefile for the Boehm garbage collector requires the files NtWin32.Mak and
Win32.Mak to be present in the build environment. These files are *not*
included with Visual Studio 2013+ and must be copied or included from the
Windows SDK. The last version known to provide those files is the Windows 7.1
SDK. The need for those files should go away once we update Boehm GC to
version 7.6.8 (not yet released).
To include the above files, append the SDK directory to the end of the INCLUDE
environment variable, for example (with the Windows 7.1 SDK):
C:\> set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1a\Include
Alternatively, copy the NtWin32.Mak and Win32.Mak files into the "boehm_gc"
directory of the Mercury source tree.
Note that boehm_gc/NT_MAKEFILE is hardcoded for the i386 architecture.
Building for x86_64 will at least require editing of some makefiles.
This problem can also be resolved once we update Boehm GC to version 7.6.8.
Note that boehm_gc/NT_MAKEFILE supports both i386 and x64 architectures,
but the compiler can only target i386 for now. The architecture is controlled
by the CPU parameter of NT_MAKEFILE.
