How to compile metis 4 using VS 2005, without CygWin?

I can compile metis 4 using VS 2005 only and generate the "libmetis.lib". But I failed to call it successfully. The metis I used is the metis-4.0.zip (binary for windows) in this web. I've to use a metis lib from somebody else.

Could you help me? Thanks in advance.

RE: Hmm, we are using metis 4

Hmm, we are using metis 4 for four years now (VS 2003/2005/2008 and Intel8/9/10 and withon Linux gcc 3.3/4 + 4.0/1/2/3).
Just download the source files and compile. I don't know what I changed inside the sources, but I can send them to you, if you like them. (muffmoch at gmx.de)
Ensure that you have defined "__VC__" as preprocessor define! and depening on your own project you have to enable the /MT switch...

RE: how to build metis 4

the first question is metis-4.0.zip contains ".exe" files how can them be compiled?
the second is if use metis-4.0.tar.gz how to build it?
thanks

RE: where to define "__VC__"

Hello, I don't understand "Ensure that you have defined "__VC__"as Preprocessor define!". how could I know whether I have "__VC__"? If I have not, what should I do?
thanks

RE: how to compile Metis on VS2008

Have you used Metis5 on VS2008?
I plan to use Metis5 on VS2008. I do not know how to build the project from source codes of Metis5. Could you provide the suggestion or email your project of Metis4 or Metis5 to me or to Karypis ?

Sincerely

RE: Where exactly do I have to define "_VC_"?

I also have trouble compiling. Where exactly do I have to define "_VC_"?
I would greatly appreciate your help.

RE: I' can use metis 4 now. Thank you

After defined __VC__, everything is OK. Thank you.
I do not know this before.
