[Freeciv-Dev] Re: compile on windows and possible bug with map size

[Christian Stock <cstock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the help!

I fixed the config.h for msvc and it seems to work (I had to undefine a few 
things).
Added the HAVE_CONFIG_H as compile option, pretty easy, thanks for that.

Replaced the S_ISREG with what's in the macro. Works fine... (stupid to 
take the S_ISREG out of the stat.h in the first place, but oh well). Maybe 
it would be good to insert a #ifdef W32_NATIVE and then replace the S_ISREG 
with whats in the macro, or make a new #ifdef W32_MSVC...
So, now I'm stuck with the last error _beginthreadex. I mostly worked it 
out. MSVC includes a few default libs, one of them is libc.lib which is for 
single threading. _beginthreadex is in the multi-thread lib libcmt.lib. So 
I just had to exclude the libc.lib. Not too hard. However, now errno isn't 
defined anymore. Probably it's in the libc.lib, but not in the libcmt.lib. 
I wish M$ would stop doing this sort of brain damaged stuff. Any clues on that?
This really should be the last error, but then there's still a chance that 
the server (once it's built) will just crash on me...
Cheers, Christian
