[omniNotify] Build Problems with Visual Studio 2008

[Emmanuel TAUREL]

Hi Jeffrey,

We are also using omniNotify mostly on Linux but from time to time on 
Windows as well.
Obviously, we are interested by your modifications.
Unfortunately, I can't answer to your questions about "how to deliver them"
Is there anybody with SourceForge right to write into the project still 
listening on this mailing list ?

Have a nice day

Emmanuel Taurel

I fixed the compile errors changing "#include <iostream.h>" to "#include <iostream>" and putting in "using namespace std;" where needed.  However, in trying to build the shared libraries (and shared debug libraries), I get errors from the linker about undefined symbols.  I have explicitly forced "msvcprt.lib" into the linker command, but I get the same set of undefined symbols.  I've got some of the undefined symbols (and the commands) down below.  I was able to find these symbols in msvcurt.lib (I did a brute force findstr on all the libraries in the same directory as the C++ runtime library).  But that library is for Microsoft's "Common Language Runtime".  How can I build so that I don't need those symbols?:
