hey want to resurrect this thread. So what exactly do I need to add the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS in order to compile it correctly for x64 win 7? I'm a noob on this one, never use make in visual studio before :\ Visual Studio C++ Express 2008 right? btw, the command prompt tools I found in the startmenu doesn't work, it says make is not recognized as an internal command. Why? Do not double post - use the edit function - mps69
