My notes for compiling Torcs with vs 2005 (vc8)

Compilation under vc6 is very smooth, but same job with vc8 is tough enough.
Finally compilation and running is OK with vc8(2005), and my notes is
following, hope to be helpful to others may concern:

1. modify winnt.h line 222
#define POINTER_64 __ptr64
typedef void *PVOID;
typedef void * POINTER_64 PVOID64;

2. In project client and track, use code generation option
"multithread", don't use "multithread dll"

3. add link option "/force:multiple" in case symbol redefinition warning

4. when compiling client project, there will be error LNK2001:
unresolved external symbol _errno
create a new cpp to sovle it
extern "C"
{
int __mb_cur_max;
unsigned short* _pctype;
int errno;
}

5. fix errors caused by type-casting check and windows API change
(like sqrt(..) )


Cheers,
