FDK: FDK8 and Visual C++ 2003

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Rick...

Here's what I've added to the code to compile FDK8 apps in VC7 (VS2003) ..

// FDK8 required in VC7
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
int _stat32( const char *path, struct _stat *buffer ) { return 
_stat(path, buffer); }
int _wstat32( const wchar_t *path, struct _stat *buffer ) { return 
_wstat(path, buffer); }
long _ftol( double );
long _ftol2_sse( double dblSource ) { return _ftol( dblSource ); }

I'm successfully compiling with VC8 (VS2005 Standard) .. I don't know 
about the "Express Edition". Note that if you want to build an 
import/export client you must use VC8, but you can build regular clients 
using older versions of the compiler.

If you need more info, you might want to try the "frame_dev" Yahoo group.

Cheers,

...scott
