Compile

The following instructions are for TortoiseSVN and Visual Studio. The steps may differ for other clients.

Create a new folder, e.g. C:\Projects\Miranda Trunk
Right click on this folder. The folder menu will contain an entry entitled "SVN Checkout". Choose URL and enter http://miranda.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ for the current testing source code and http://miranda.googlecode.com/svn/branches/stable/ for the stable source code.
Search for the include files in C:\Projects\Miranda Trunk\miranda\include and add this directory to the global include paths in your Visual Studio settings.
To compile the plugins, search for .vcproj files in the directories.
Create your own plugins in a subdirectory of C:\Projects\Miranda Trunk\miranda\plugins
