Can someone please turn that into a visual studio 2010 project? I've been trying to somehow use mingw but i got caught in it and i just uninstalled the whole thing....

...because just importing everything creates a zillion janson lib errors...

Hi there,

if I hit the link in your initial post I am redirected to the projects page on github.

There is a Readme on the lower part of the site. It says clearly that this project has external dependencies including "libcurl" and "jansson".

Furthermore there are Links offered so you can go there and download the libs mentioned above:

• libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
• jansson http://www.digip.org/jansson/

So import the project and download these 2 libs. After that you have to link against them. You are doing this by changing your project properties.

If you have finished this steps everything should be fine and you are ready to build the project.

I hope this helps you out.

as the code is designed for linux,is includes pthread.h ...what do i do on windows?

Ok...now I really got stuck....

There are so many defines that it says it can't find but they are included...

And the void pointers...they should be cast into something since c++ is more restrictive...but cast them into what?!

Hi again,

my suspicion is that you are not compiling the code with the MinGW compiler as mentioned in the Readme of the repository.

If so then the built-in VS compiler will try to do the job.

Referring to this Thread (sorry for cross-site linking) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8525470/porting-c-compilation-from-mingw-to-visualstudionmake there can be several situations that are not covered in the standard or differ depending on the standard that is used.

So if you aren't compiling with MinGW as it is recommended please get active and do so.

You can ignore my post if you're already using MinGW.
