Which others don't, precisely?  And please post the corresponding log
file, during which you pressed them.

Well, at least you should get something in such case.

Err, well, README.first.txt.

Well, tell that to Microsoft.  On Linux it's indeed quite trivial, there
is no need for all these .def, .dll.a, .lib, etc. files.  The problem
here is that I don't easily have the tool to create the .lib file.  In
principle, shipping the .def file is enough for people to create it
using their own tool, and I thought Visual C would make that easy, but
apparently it doesn't.  I can't really do much about that.
