Michael, how are you trying to compile git? With the IDE or the
GNU Make? Which version of MSVC? If you use the IDE, can you make
sure it doesn't contain the UNICODE define in the compiler
section of the properties of the projects?
I'm using the VS 2008 Professional IDE (the solution doesn't open
in VS 2005). I made no changes to the build settings. In the
Preprocessor section of the project, UNICODE is defined.
Were these projects generated with the Vcproj generator in
contrib/buildsystem, with the Qmake generator, or the projects from
Frank's repo?
On another note, I see *many* build warnings for things like
"signed/unsigned compares". I'd be willing to work through these
warnings and fix them. Thoughts?
Well, first find out why these are a problem with MSVC and not GCC.
Are the types different on these platforms? signed vs unsigned should
show up with GCC as well. We need to make sure that we don't fix
signed/unsigned issues on one platform, just to introduce it to
another platform.
In any case, it would be good for someone to have a look at these,
just so we can determine the cause for most of them, and then we
should figure out on the list how to deal with them.
Just my €0.2..
