Question Compile failure on MSVC8

I've been wanting to fiddle around with C++ for a while, and figured I might learn a thing or two by fudging around with the code for tbamud, seeing what happens when I poke things around and so on.

I've tried compiling it under MSVC8, but I keep getting an error during compilation:

Seeing as the instructions for compiling under MSVC8 are eight years old - is it no longer usable on this compiler? Am I just missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Protocol.c/h were 3rd party add-ons that might not be compatible (out of the box) with MSVC8. I dont own either Windows or MSVC8 so I have no way to test it. That said, cygwin will compile it just fine as will any linux distro. Also, tbamud is written in C not C++.

Bummer, on both accounts. Thanks for the reply!

Fade just updated the code to work under windows including a new conf.h.msvs. Download the latest from github to see if it works.

Changes are here.
