Since you are asking about it, you probably don't have much chance of successfully building it.
A little encouragement goes a long way.
I wasn't trying to be encouraging. What was being asked isn't a simple task. If you give the impression that it is simple you just waste people's time.
Heh, no problem. I find a challenge to be the best motivation.
"You probably can't do that."
"Oh yeah, wanna bet? Hold my beer and watch this."
That can be encouraging to the right kind of person.
I did find that building 0.9.9.0 on Linux (Ubuntu) was quite easy.
The only problem I had with that was aeond refused to connect to the seed node. After a while I got it working by setting "--hide-my-port --allow-local-ip --add-peer 10.X.X.X" to get it to connect to my local Windows box running 0.9.8.0. After that it found the external peers.
I haven't tried the Windows build yet.
