VS2010 build issues (with patch)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

I tried to build leptonica in Visulac studio 2010 based on VS2008 solution from 
leptonica 1.68.
I was quite successful, but I needed to patch a code a little bit. See 
attachment.

I decided for my upcoming v1.70 Visual Studio 2008 Solution release to force 
Visual Studio to compile .c files using the newer VC++ compiler rather than its 
C compiler. Thus all configurations now set the global /TP switch [1]. 

The VC++ compiler CAN handle "arrays dimensioned by static const integers" (and 
in general is more compatible with the gcc c compiler). So none of the changes 
in the posted patch are necessary when the /TP switch is used.

See [2] for the rationale for changing to the VC++ compiler. It explicitly 
states:

   We recommend that C developers use the C++ compiler to compile C code
   (using /TP if the file is named something.c). This is the best choice for
   using Visual C++ to compile C code.

Thanks tom. When do you expect to release windows library?
