Here are the instructions for compiling Anope for Windows for versions 1.7.14.1061 and below. For information on compiling later versions, see Windows.

• Download the Anope source code tar.gz from our Anope Sourceforge Repository
• If you have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET you can skip this step otherwise, install the following software:
  1. Microsoft Visual C++ 6 or Later (or Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit - no longer available for download)
  2. Microsoft PlatformSDK [WGA Validation is required]
  3. MySQL (if you wish to build with MySQL compatibility)
• Unpack Anope Source Code to a location on your hard disk. (We suggest C:\Program Files\Anope)
• Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt (NOT A DOS BOX), and change directory to the location of your extracted Anope Source Code
• At the prompt type cscript /nologo install.vbs (And answer the questions).
• At the prompt type nmake -f makefile.win32
• Locate your anope directory
• Rename the example.conf to services.conf and configure it to your suiting
• Configure your IRCd's config file and /rehash
• Run anope and check for errors on IRC / Log files
