Compile problem with VC++ 6.0!

[Ray xxx]

Hi,everyone!

Now i have a vlc-0.8.5 source code and trying to compile with the VC++ 6.0.

Is it possible to compile the vlc with VC++ 6.0 for the windows?

A lot of erro like:

vlc.exe - 8 error(s), 0 warning(s)

There have been people who've compiled VLC under windows without using the Unix emulation libraries but it requires editing the code a fair bit. The developers aren't interested in this, so you'll have to search the forums for more information. This isn't a supported way to build.
