Janus/Ada requires a Microsoft Software Developers Kit (SDK) and a
compatible linker, available in e.g. Visual C++.
Is or are the choice or choices of the Microsoft version or versions
important? Janus performs actual compilations. However, perhaps a new
64-bit version of Microsoft link might produce executables which are
incompatible with 32-bit Windows, or even incompatible with an old
64-bit version of Windows.
Visual Studio 2026
and
Build Tools for Visual Studio 2026
are available from
https://VisualStudio.MicroSoft.com
and old versions are available from
https://VisualStudio.MicroSoft.com/vs/older-downloads
. . .
Visual Studio 2022;
Visual Studio 2019;
Visual Studio 2017;
and
Microsoft Build Tools 2015 Update 3.
The oldest versions are not easy to fetch.
I programmed a useful Ada program. The chief version of Windows which
it runs on is 64-bit Windows 10. Compatibility with 64-bit Windows 7
would be practical. We do not have an overriding need to be compatible
with other old versions of Windows (e.g. 32-bit Windows Vista), but we
also do not have an overriding need to be incompatible.
Impressions as to
* are all MS SDKs equivalent
or
does a choice affect compatibilities
or
* speeds
and as to
* how much hassle there would be in adapting Lkw to run with a version
of the MS SDK which it was not designed to invoke would be
appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
