> The problem was this INSTALL file. It told me to get the external

> referred to the directory as $NANBLENDERHOME/lib/windows. Since it
> also says for
> example $NANBLENDERHOME/intern/make in other places, I thought I had to put the
> lib/windows directory in the blender dir. Which is incorrect. It should say
> $NANBLENDERHOME/../lib/windows, because the Visual Studio project files won't
> work otherwise, giving zillions of compiler/linker errors (yes, warnings too).
>
> Also, it doesn't mention getting the latest service pack for VS.

> It also says $NANBLENDERHOME/lib/darwin-6.1-powerpc in the MAC section, which
> should be incorrect too. But since I don't have a mac, I don't know for sure.
> Somebody please confirm.

> I updated the file in that regard, and added another line to mention the
> QuickTime SDK. + minor cosmetics.
