Xapian discuss - Feb 2008 - problem when compiling xapian in windows

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the xapian version that I get when execute the
get_xapian.py script, from xappy.

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 8

First error:

.\tcpclient.cc(82) : error C3861: 'close': identifier not found
.\tcpclient.cc(94) : error C3861: 'close': identifier not found
.\tcpclient.cc(109) : error C3861: 'close': identifier not found
.\tcpclient.cc(125) : error C3861: 'close': identifier not found
.\tcpclient.cc(139) : error C3861: 'close': identifier not found
.\tcpclient.cc(143) : error C3861: 'close': identifier not found

If I apply the first attached patch the error stops.

Then, comes the second error:

remoteconnection.cc
.\remoteconnection.cc(374) : error C3861: 'msvc_posix_open': identifier
not
found
.\remoteconnection.cc(393) : warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from
'__int64' to 'size_t', possible loss of data
.\remoteconnection.cc(402) : error C2065: 'header' : undeclared
identifier
.\remoteconnection.cc(571) : warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from
'__int64' to 'size_t', possible loss of data
.\remoteconnection.cc(604) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from
'__int64'
to 'size_t', possible loss of data
.\remoteconnection.cc(608) : warning C4244: 'initializing' : conversion
from
'const __int64' to 'size_t', possible loss of data
.\remoteconnection.cc(638) : error C3861: 'msvc_posix_open': identifier
not
found
tcpclient.cc

If I apply the second patch, then this error also stops. But, then I start
to get errors like:

        link.exe @C:\DOCUME~1\brunore\CONFIG~1\Temp\nm1E1.tmp
libbackend.lib(database.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

Hi Bruno,

Xappy (www.xappy.org) isn't part of core Xapian - it's best to address 
questions about it to the xappy-discuss mailing list, as I don't think 
many people here will know anything about it!

Cheers
