To compile sources you will need Visual C++ 6.0 or a later version. Some files also require a new Platform SDK from microsoft.com: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm or http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ If you are using MSVC, specify the SDK directories at the top of the “Include files” and “Library files” directory lists. These can be found under “Tools / Options / Directories”. The latest Platform SDK is not compatible with MSVC6. So you must use Windows Server 2003 PSDK (February 2003) with MSVC6.
