There are also binaries under the ClamAV Native Win32 Port, at http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/

I was wrong: those aren't binaries. Here are the directions: 1. download and install MASM if you don't have it yet (it is a small, single executable; tiny install). Download from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx? FamilyId=7A1C9DA0-0510-44A2-B042-7EF370530C64&displaylang=en note: it installs into the VC++/bin directory 2. download and install 7zip if you don't have it. Download from: http://www.7-zip.org/ 3. download the full GMP library (currently v4.2.1) and extract it into a directory, i.e., \gmp-4.2.1 http://swox.com/gmp/#DOWNLOAD 4. download the appropriate archive from http://oss.netfarm.it/ clamav/ and extract it *into* the gmp directory. 5. the .vcproj file will be in \gmp-4.2.1\msvc\gmp. Open it. 6. in normal VC++ I believe you may be fine; in VC++ Express you need to do this: * go to the project Properties and under Resources/General, * under Additional Include Directories add the include directory that contains "windows.h" (it is included in the resource file). VC+ + Express does not come with "windows.h," but I believe the "windows.h" from Mingw should work. After all this it should build fine as a DLL (gmpd.dll). Note that the default Build is a Debug Build, so you might want to change that as well. Cheers, Pete P.S., there might be an easier way to automate this process (especially finding a "windows.h"). Since it is only a resource file that needs windows.h, it might be possible to simply repackage the whole distribution (gmp, the gmp-msvc version and windows.h) together. It might not introduce conflicts if someone has another windows.h in their path (i.e., full version or old version of VC++) but the local directories are searched first. If all that works you might be able to use scons to call the build.
