Excuse me for being curious, but I was working to get a VS8 project file going - is there missing things in the SVN files?
It looks like the 16 errors I generated needed mysql.h (sql), zlib.h (the compession library), and errmsg.h (sql). If I am being totally bonkers and way ahead of myself, nevermind. I'm the type if I see code I can't resist compiling it
If you want I can svn my combined SQL file.
