It may be possible to build liblzma with other toolchains too, but that will probably require writing a separate makefile. Building the command line tools with non-GNU toolchains will be harder than building only liblzma. - Starting with XZ Utils 5.2.0, building liblzma (not the whole - XZ Utils) should work with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later using - windows/config.h. No project files or makefiles are included yet, - so the build process isn't as convenient yet as it could be. - Even if liblzma is built with MinGW(-w64), the resulting DLL can be used by other compilers and linkers, including MSVC.
