libevent官网下载最新的libevent-2.1.8-stable.tar，地址：https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/download/release-2.1.8-stable/libevent-2.1.8-stable.tar.gz
直接用vs 命令行工具编译，我安装的是Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017,版本号是15.2(26430.16),使用x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2017
切换到libevent目录下，执行nmake /f Makefile.nmake，报错：
test-changelist.c
cl /I.. /I../WIN32-Code /I../WIN32-Code/nmake /I../include /I../compat /DHAVE_CONFIG_H /DTINYTEST_LOCAL /Ox /W3 /wd4996 /nologo ..\libevent.lib ws2_32.lib shell32.lib advapi32.lib test-changelist.obj
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'print-winsock-errors.obj'
错误原因是找不到print-winsock-errors.c,其他的libevent版本是有这个文件的，于是拷贝过来，在执行顺利通过，产生三个libevent.lib libevent_core.lib libevent_extras.lib
