Hi Joe, please make a PR from your findings, so that I can add these to the 1.6.1 release ... note that extra files to be included in the tarbal just have to be added in the Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST line that at the moment only includes 2 files from the win32 directory
I have unfortunately to data not found anyone willing to finance good windows rrdtool packaging and stuff ... so all I do is integrate PRs I get from people who work on it ... cheers tobi Today Joe Kane wrote: > It looks like the tarball distribution for both the 1.5.x and 1.6.x releases > of RRDTOOL is missing several files from the WIN32 directory.

Some are clearly related to VS2013 assumption. For example, VS2008 is > not 'C99' compliant so doesn't include STDINT.h, (which is referenced in one > of the source files in 1.6.x).
