Some of Nmap's dependencies on Windows are inconvenient to build. For
this reason, precompiled binaries of the dependencies are stored in
Subversion, in the directory <filename>/nmap-mswin32-aux</filename>.
When building from source, whether from a source code release or from
Subversion, check out <filename>/nmap-mswin32-aux</filename> as
described below.

Download the Windows dependencies from Subversion with the command
<command>svn checkout https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-mswin32-aux</command>.
The build files are configured to look for dependencies in this
checked-out directory. If you want to build the dependencies yourself
instead, you will have to reconfigure the Visual Studio project files to
point to the alternate directory.
