Browse Source 
* HAS_REMOTE_API still defaults to 0
* When HAS_REMOTE_API=0 only libraries advapi32.lib, ole32.lib and shell32.lib are required.
* Setting HAS_REMOTE_API=1 requires curl: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
*- Also need to manually install 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org).
*- Will automatically install Tinyxml2 (http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml2/).
*- Will automatically install http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml

<h3>Windows specific:</h3>
<p>
If you want to enable <code>HAS_REMOTE_API</code> and/or <code>AUTO_DOWNLOAD</code> on
Windows you will have to manually install
<a href="https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/">curl</a> and
<a href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-zip</a> into their default locations.
</p>
<p>
If you do not enable <code>HAS_REMOTE_API</code>, you will need to also install
<a href="http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml">
http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml</a> into your
<code>install</code> location. This will be done for you if you have enabled
<code>HAS_REMOTE_API</code> and let <code>AUTO_DOWNLOAD</code> default to 1.
</p>
<p>
To enable <code>HAS_REMOTE_API</code> you can either edit tz.h, adding:
</p>
<blockquote><pre>
#define HAS_REMOTE_API 1
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
Or you can put <code>/DHAS_REMOTE_API=1</code> on the command line. When
<code>HAS_REMOTE_API == 1</code>, <code>AUTO_DOWNLOAD</code> defaults to 1.

mingw users: <code>-lpthread</code> is required.
