<div dir="ltr">A few things are striking me as odd about the Windows build of the utilities when compiling with Visual Studio Express 2013<div><br></div><div>1) Several utilities simply fail to run. Namely add* all bring up Windows crash/error boxes immediately upon run with no output. Is this typical?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) installmgr isn't working properly. Once it attempts to connect out over the network, it just spits out a continuous stream of dashes that would typically indicate progress. Is this a breakage in newer curls? I have built the latest, which is 7.34.0. The latest that I have on Fedora is 7.29.0.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3) By default the libsword target links against the debug version of curl but the release version of ICU. Is this intentional? Both have built fine for me from the looks of it, out of the icu-sword directory.</div>
<div><br></div><div>4) Is icu-sword still necessary? I don't know what it was trying to overcome in ICU's at the time it was created, but it's a bit behind the ICU 52.1 that is current now (icu-sword seems to be reporting as 4.6). I doubt there's much that is wrong in 4.6, just less complete than 52. I've successfully built against 5.2 without any seeming difficulty.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any guidance? Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>--Greg</div></div>
