1. From official website (http://www.cs.wustl.edu /~ Schmidt/ace.html) downloaded ace 5.6 and decompressed it to the hard disk.
2. In Windows, create a config. h file in the ace_wrappers \ ACE \ directory and add a line of code:
# Include "ACE/config-win32.h"
3. Open ace_vc8.sln under the ace_wrappers \ directory and start compilation. Because of the large number of projects, it takes about half a day to open the solution, and it takes up to one hour to compile all the projects. It was not clear at the beginning that I had compiled more than six hundred projects. Fortunately, there was no problem. Most of the projects were successfully compiled, and there were only 10 project links, it does not seem to be an important project, nor care about it. If you want to compile faster, you can open the ace_wrappers_vc8.sln or ace_wrappers \ ACE \ directory under the ace_wrappers \ directory to compile ace_vc8.sln. They only contain several major projects.
