Compiling with Visual C++ (command line) Toolkit?

Is it possible to compile TSE using the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 (free command line version of VC7.1)?

I don't really need to set up an IDE, as I'm only concerned with compiling the source at this stage, not editing it.

Yes, and I think there are some resources on how to do it.

I couldn't find anything in the resources other than a link to the toolkit and batch files to compile from the command line using Visual Studio.

However, I did find instructions for setting it up with the CodeBlocks IDE here and here. They are not specific to Torque, but do list all the other items that you need to install (such as the Platform SDK).

I have only just purchased Windows XP and need to backup a number of files from my current Win98 drive before I can do a fresh install, so it will be a while before I can let others know if it works.
