 Since mid January 2008, building hugin for Windows has been easier than this page might lead you to expect.  The cmake build configuration and control system has become fully functional, and a complete set of precompiled dependencies (the ''Hugin SDK'') is available.  There are step-by-step instructions here: [[Build Hugin for Windows with SDK]].

 This guide will describe two ways of building the latest trunk. It does not apply to the hugin code prior to 2007/10/27.

 Currently, there are two methods for building hugin. Both are based on the CMake build system.
-# Compilation with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. MSVC 2003 or 2008 is required. The recommended method is to download [http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/ Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition], and install it.

For convenience a ''Hugin SDK'' with precompiled libraries for MSVC 2008 is provided. It is recommended to use these initially, rather than to compile your own libraries.  There are detailed instructions at [[Build Hugin for Windows with SDK]].  Once you are familiar and comfortable with the process described there, you can move in to replace the precompiled libraries with your own self-built ones, step by step.
 # Compilation with MinGW32. This does not require the Microsoft compiler and even allows cross compilation of binaries for windows on a linux machine. Until now, only the cross compilation approach has been tried, but a building on a native system should also be possible.
 The following additional programs are also required for building a hugin installer package:
-# [http://www.cmake.org CMake] Note that Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition is not supported by CMake 2.4. Download the [http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html#cvs Nightly CVS Windows Binary], until CMake 2.5 is released.
+# [http://www.cmake.org CMake] Note that Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition is not supported by CMake 2.4. [http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html Download] a recent Windows binary of CMake. These instructions were written at a time that only a recent CVS snapshot of CMake worked with this method. It is likely that CMake 2.6.x works as well, but it has not been tested.

+# [http://enblend.sf.net enblend 3.2]
 # [http://sf.net/projects/unxutils GNU make], required by hugin, not for building hugin. (included in ''Hugin SDK'')
 # GNU gettext. (included in ''Hugin SDK'')
 For both MSVC and MinGW32 approaches, the hardest task is the compilation of the libraries required by hugin. This mainly includes wxWidgets, boost, libpano13 and OpenEXR.

-It is tempting to download precompiled libraries from the different projects, and use those.
