I’ve followed the wiki verbatim, and it hangs up on avi.c because it can’t include stdint.h. I followed the troubleshooting guide, and re-installed Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1, but that didn’t help matters.
I’ve used git, TortoiseSVN, and the free version of Visual Studio 2008.
Okay, every new version of VS requires creating an account I just don’t want to deal with. I’m experimenting with MinGW; but, unfortunately, I cannot find what command I’m supposed to issue: the wiki only says how to compile Visual Studio, unless I’m just being a terrible reader again.
