I had a look at UCI CVS and some changes will have to be made for the code
being useable under VC++ 6 (and other compilers I think).

According to the problems I encountered and what I could find on the net
seems like foogod uses GCC to compile (or similar) because there are some
features that cannot be used in VC++ 6 (even maybe under VC++.NET, didn't
tested).

What I am talking about here concerns the uci_param_value union, and the
macros defined to initialize / generate constants out of it.
foogod uses a {.field = value} trick that, as far as I could read, is
defined in C99 specs (standard C specs). But apparently there is not that
much compiler that are C99 compliant (they are just C89 compliant) : even
GCC (that can handle the trick thought) isn't 100% C99 compliant.

A workaround is to define constructors for the union ... but of course in
this case we are not anymore in C but C++ ... (which makes me have to force
casts  ).

And then I learn that VC++ isn't POSIX, which makes that the
platform_linux.c has to be reworked too (half of the functions and
structures used are not defined in VC++).

Finally after a *lot* of hack I could use the files ...[/quote]
