it would be immensly helpful if someone could indicate me how to compile libevent http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ on Windows 7.
I usually use compile source code on Linux distributions, as executable binaries are usually always available for Windows.
Help would be great.
I know that this is a really old question but I'll shoot you an answer anyway.
If you have Visual Studio installed, open the Visual Studio Command Prompt for your architecture (usually in a "Tools" directory). cd to the directory in which you've extracted the libevent source and then type nmake Makefile.nmake
That will give you the .lib and .obj files that you need.
