Building
For building FreeFalcon you need the Microsoft Visual C/C++ Compiler (Version 18.00.30723 or higher). The ARM and x64 Version of this Compiler is not supported but there where successfull testbuilds with the Intel ICC 32-Bit x86 (ICC) Compiler. The easiest way to setup a working build environment is installing the free 90 Days, unrestricted Trialversion of Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 or higher or obtaining a license of Visual Studio 2013 or higher. For detailed build instructions please take a look at the build documentation after git checkout.

Warning
The Express Version of Visual C/C++ is not supported because FreeFalcon depends on the closed source Microsoft MFC/ATL Libraries (historical reasons) wich is not part of Visual C/C++ Express.However, we have done some tests with the MFC Headers and Libs provided by the free Windows Driver Kit (WDK) in combination with the Visual C/C++ Express version but with limited success. If you get it up and running, please let us know.
