This short guide describes the steps necessary to compile oofem using Microsoft Visual c++ compiler. 
 
  - Create a new, empty project (Win32 console application)
  - Add all relevant files into the project. Identify modules that you need (oofemlib must be included). The relevant files can be easily explored from makefile templates located in OOFEM_TOP_DIR/base directory)
  - In the project settings, add "/TP" compiler option. This will force ".C" files to be recognized as c++ files. 
  - Get oofemcfg.h and oofemdef.h files from OOFEM_TOP_DIR/base directory. Then #define HAVE_BOOLTYPE, TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME and HAVE_MACRO_VA_ARGS.
  - Under the VC project option/preprocessor definition, define set of symbols "%%__MODULENAME_MODULE%%", where the MODULENAME is the name of module(s) you want to include. For example, define"%%__SM_MODULE%%" and "%%__OOFEMLIB_MODULE%%" if you want to include oofemlib and sm modules.\\ Also define "%%__OOFEM%%" and "DEBUG" (if you want a debug version of OOFEM) macros.
  - Open inverseit.h header file, and find out the “z” definition.  Then change the original definition into <code>FloatArray* z=new(FloatArray[nc]);</code> and don’t forget to add <code>delete [] z;</code>  at the end of usage; 
  - In timer.h file, some functions only have declaration but no definitions in the corresponding  cpp file. Comment out the following declarations: <code>
//timersub(&end_wtime, &start_wtime, &etime);
//timeradd(&etime, &elapsedWTime, &elapsedWTime);
//timersub(&end_utime, &start_utime, &etime);
//timeradd(&etime, &elapsedUTime, &elapsedUTime);
//start_utime=end_utime; start_wtime=end_wtime;</code>
  - Lack of  #define clock.h statement in clock.h file, which would produce “redefinition” compile errors.
