[odb-users] Building ODB compiler on Windows using VC++

[Edward Diener]

I have cloned the git repository for the ODB compiler and have Visual 
Studio 2013.

How can I build the ODB compiler on Windows using Visual Studio ?

Although I have mingw and mingw64 I do not want to fool around with 
MSYS, but if using MSYS is the only way to build odb on Windows I will 
use that.

In the online instruction page for building odb on Windows it says:

"Building the ODB compiler from source code on Windows involves a custom 
build procedure. If you absolutely must build the ODB compiler yourself, 
write to the odb-users at codesynthesis.com mailing list for more information."

Although I do not absolutely have to build the ODB compiler from source 
code I would like to keep up with source code changes using git and 
build the compiler from source code myself rather than install it.
