You can't skip steps in the build procedure! It's great that you've downloaded the libraries yourself, but they have to be unpacked and prepared before you can build.

Please follow the build steps unless you really know what you're doing. The fact you've to ask here begs to differ.

i have unpacked the files to path according to the config and makefile.nmake file, after that its giving error, once i hv all the libraries i thought its not necessary to download them again.

Did you run "nmake -f makefile.nmake setup"? If not, do so, REGARDLESS of whether you've downloaded the libraries yourself. We don't guarantee that the build process will work if you customize it by, for example, downloading the libraries yourself; if you want to do the build your way, rather than our way, you'll have to solve build problems yourself.
