Compiling the 32bit snapshot is very simple. I did the following all under win95. I expect that these instructions work as well for NT4.

  1. Download the alpha1 snapshot, and unzip it to some dir (c:\k5.32 or something) on your Windows 95/NT machine. All the unix-side configureing has been done for you already.

  2. Install MSVC4.x (I used MSVC4.2). When it's done, it will create a batch file called vcvars32.bat in the bin directory. In whatever command/cmd shell you will compile the code in, make sure you run this batch file. It will require the CDROM to be in the drive, but i'm not sure why. (Libraries?)

  3. cd \k5.32, and type "nmake -c". This compile should go smoothly.

  4. You will need to place a copy of kerberos.ini and krb.con in your c:\windows or c:\winnt directory to make things work. Unlike the 16bit target, the 32bit code will get the time zone from the system which means you do not need to add the "TZ" environment variable to your autoexec.bat and reboot before you can test the programs.

  5. You will need to copy the following files into a single directory (c:\done32)

     c:\k5\lib\krb5_32.dll c:\done
 c:\k5\lib\gssapi32.dll c:\done
 c:\k5\windows\wintel\telnet.exe c:\done
 c:\k5\krb5.exe c:\done
    The credientials manager is krb5.exe in this release.
As of the time I wrote this, (alpha 1 snapshot, 1/2/97) the telnet program does not connect successfully to either a K4 or K5 host..
