Re: Microsoft visual C++ compilation problems

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

The first error is caused because VS2008 does not fully support c99. I
think simply removing the broken include should work, we have
alternatives to stdint.h at least in other include files.
Which libssh version are you using? I couldn't map the line numbers to
v0-7 or master. I think that the problem is caused by c99-style
structure initializations. There are other places in libssh that use
them and I'm not sure this can be easily fixed without losing the
advantage of this 15 years-old C feature.
