    101102Versions compiled with Visual C++ 2005 Express use the optimizing compiler. Benchmarks are the same as on versions released by Berkeley. The above steps will always build a development version, if you want to change this, edit <BOINCSCRDIR/>\version.h
    102103
     104You can easily ignore all of the warnings that you get when building. Most of them are for the eyes of the developers.
