start with the git bundle download of 3.64
used the new conf.h.msvs. which was suppost to be for msvc 2008. had to get 3 libs from my msvc6 thou.
KERNEL32.LIB UUID.LIB WSOCK32.LIB
which dont seem to be in the 2008 express for some reason. then I added dozens of files to this part of the makefile. which was makefile.msvc
OBJFILES = comm.obj act.comm.obj act.informative.obj act.movement.obj act.item.obj \

genzon.obj prefedit.obj
which I figured out pooring over tba docs for help.
everytime I got a unreferenced external, I used grep to search for the function, then added that file. did this for a whole day until it compiled. makes a huge 2 meg circle.exe thou, which prolly could be optimized better. since the makefile was really for msvc 4.0
also, this was done in the command shell of win xp sp3.
