There is a baculanovss.mak that Martin created that may allow you to build a
non-VSS version. Simply checkout or export the current CVS using the
following tag: -r Branch-1_38_0, then copy src/win32/baculafd/baculanovss.mak
into src/win32/baculafd/baculafd.mak and follow the instructions in the
src/win32/README.win32 file. If you don't have VC++ 2003 (version 7.1), you
might look at README.vc8, which describes how to build with the free
Microsoft VC++ compiler ...
It isn't so easy to build a Win32 Bacula, but besides myself at least 3 or 4
other people have done it, so it is possible ...
