Re: [libmicrohttpd] 0.9.62 doesn't build on Visual Studio

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi,

instead of keeping all projects at C89, you can also use Visual Studio
with LLVM/Clang or GCC:

I personally don't have any experiences with that (just don't have a MS
Windows license) but know people building C99 OSS on Windows with clang.


Regards, Tim
