-It is possible to run an entire Contiki system as a program under
-Microsoft Windows.

-
-The Microsoft Windows port of Contiki doesn't use the the Contiki build system.
-Instead it is built with the Microsoft Visual C++. If you already have Microsoft
-Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (or better) installed you're ready to go.
-
-Otherwise you can download and install the free Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.
-I'd recommend to download the full package and then do a local install. That so
-called Manual Installation is described on this page:
-http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/
-
-Then follow the instructions on this page carefully (Note - You only need to
-install the Microsoft Windows Core SDK from the Microsoft Platform SDK):
-http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx
-
-Finally you might want to integrate the Platform SDK help content into the IDE
-help system (although this isn't necessary for Contiki development) by choosing
-this topic in the IDE help system and following the instructions given:
-ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/dv_vsexpcc/local/CollectionManagerExpress.htm
-
-For network I/O you need the WinPcap library which is available on this page:
-http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm
-
-I'd recommend to install the Wireshark network protocol analyzer which uses (and
-therefore comes with) the WinPcap libary from this page instead of installing
-just the WinPcap library from the page above:
-http://www.wireshark.org/download.html
-
-Doubleclicking contiki-2.x\\platform\\win32\\contiki.sln should bring up the IDE
-and load the Contiki Solution. This takes some time if done for the first time
-as the source is scanned and quite some metadata gets generated.
-
-Now press F7 for Build Solution and then F5 for Start Debugging. This should
-bring up Contiki inside a new command prompt window. Starting Contiki in the
-debugger has the benefit of having the debug output routed to the IDE output
-pane.
-
-Depending on your settings for command prompt windows the mouse should work
-right away with Contiki.
-
-Contiki resizes its desktop on resizing the command prompt window Contiki is
-running in.
-
-Beside the Contiki Quit menu entry you can safely use Ctrl-C for a clean exit.
-You'll notice that when running Contiki from an already open command prompt
-window (that therefore doesn't close on Contiki exit): The caption, colors,
-cursor, ... are restored.
