VS2012 build fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I try to build google-url under VS2012 I run into a lot of unicode 
problems.

Does it compile on VS2012?

For example 
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'TCHAR [260]' to 'const 
std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &'

migth be solved if I switch from std:string to std::wstring

Full build log showing where it fails:

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It looks like you're compiling in ANSI mode. You should compile in Unicode mode 
(TCHAR == wchar_t).
