Beginning with the 3.2 codeline, gpc is not needed at all for the build anymore and from this release on, the related configure switch has been removed. some pre-3.x releases optionally require the general polygon clipper library release 2.31.Visual Studio 2008 is the reference compiler for 3.x.Visual Studio 2005 Express should work fine.Visual Studio 2003 is the reference compiler for 2.x.Windows 98/ME is not a good idea: Visual Studio Express 2005 cannot be installed on Windows 98, so you'd probably need the full version of Visual Studio 2003 - but Windows 98 is unsupported for 3.0 anyway.For general informations on building on Windows see Development/ Building Guide/Building on Windows. Only steps that differ from building a current release are described.
