Hi, So you want to know how to build libmemcached on Windows? In order to have a single build environment you need to install mingw to get a "unix environment" to run the configure script. An easy way to get started is to install the msysgit fullinstall package from: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list msysgit does not contain the "autotools" needed to generate a configure script, so you need to generate that on another box (this should not be a problem if you're trying to build from a tar archive). msysgit does not contain the tools to build the documentation, so you need to add --without-docs to configure. I'm normally building libmemcached with: Ex: $ ./configure --without-docs --with-memcached=../memcached/memcached.exe $ make all install Happy hacking, Trond Norbye
