I don't think the toolkit comes with "nmake" though, so you're out ofI think either the Platform SDK (downloadable) does, and you need that to compile most anything on Windows anyway, or the .NET SDK does. Unfortunately both hefty downloads, and require some tweaking to get to work right.
luck w.r.t. executing a make file.
The main problem with the downloadable toolkit is that it doesn't come with the import libraries to MSVCRT.DLL, which means most builds will fail to link. The .NET SDK comes with them, but:
- the CL.EXE that comes with .NET v1.1 is a crippled version that doesn't do optimizations.
- the one that comes with v2.0 is a complete compiler, but the import libraries link against the new MSVCRT80.DLL, which is not provided with the SDK download or anywhere else legally.
If doing Rails development, just abuse that you are provided a database layer - use SQLite3 for development, works as a charm without running the server, and use MySQL as the production server. Before deploying, use Rails Schemas to dump the development DB metadata and recreate it from scratch in the production environment. The production machine will most likely be a *nix server where the native extensions are either less painful to build, or Someone Else's Problem.
Oh - and Cygwin helps loads too.
