In order to build HTCondor on Windows, the following prerequisites are required. They need to be in the PATH before you can build. There is a batch file =msconfig\set_build_env.bat= in the HTCondor sources that will locate the installed prerequisites and set the PATH for you if you don't wish to add them to your global PATH.
-1: Cmake 2.8.3 or later, the =Cmake\bin= directory should be added your PATH.
+1: Install 7-zip. Add it to your PATH. 7-zip is not needed to build, but it is needed to make the HTCondor .ZIP file. You will not be able to build the PACKAGE target witout 7-zip.
+*::http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

+1: [Optional] install git and add it to your PATH, git is one way to get the HTCondor sources. It is not needed if you already have the sources.
+*::http://git-scm.com/download

+1: Cmake 2.8.3 or later, the =Cmake\bin= directory should be added your PATH. For now, be sure to use CMake 2.8 and not CMake 3.

-2: Install Visual Studio. Add it to your PATH.
+1: Install Active Perl. Add it to your PATH.

*::: UW Madison staff can use MSDNAA: http://msdn04.e-academy.com/wiscmad_cs ; contact the CSL lab for an account if you don't have one. You'll get a .img file of the DVD. You can use 7-zip to extract the contents and install from there instead of burning a DVD or installing DVD emulation software.
-3: [Optional] Start Visual Studio and Open Tools->Options under "Projects and Solutions" click on VC++ Directories and add the following to the *Executable* directories. This is not needed if you use =msconfig\set_build_env.bat= to set the PATH before you build.

*::Move $(PATH) to the bottom as sometimes C:\cygwin\bin is in the $(PATH) which can cause issues with HTCondor's bundled binaries.

+1: [Optional] Install 32-bit Python 2.8. This is needed to build and/or use the python bindings. It *must* be the same bitness as the HTCondor binaries, which means 32-bit for now.
6: [Optional] Install WiX 3.0 on your windows machine (Depends on Visual Studio). WiX is not needed to build, but it is needed to create the MSI installer.

4.) add cmake\bin to your PATH if it is not already. One way to do this is to execute =CONDOR_SRC\msconfig\set_build_env.bat=. This will setup PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE environment variables to build HTCondor. If this batch file cannot find cmake.exe It will report an error.
