since version 1.13, I'm not able to build libidn in VS 2008. Version 1.12 is the last one, where build succeeds. (I've downloaded and tested all versions from 1.12 to the current one 1.19).
The files where the compilation fails are "profiles.c" and "stringprep.h". Each file that includes "stringprep.h" reports:
1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(25) : warning C4273: 'stringprep_profiles' : inconsistent dll linkage 1> w:\libidn-1.13\lib\stringprep.h(114) : see previous definition of 'stringprep_profiles'
When compiling "profiles.c", I get also:
1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(26) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant 1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(27) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant 1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(28) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant 1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(29) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant 1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(30) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant 1>w:\libidn-1.13\lib\profiles.c(31) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant ....... (more than 100 times)
Is there an easy fix? At first sight, I see nothing wrong with the code, so it can be that some compiler compatibility flags need to be turned on, or something like that. In version 1.13, "stringprep.h" was substantially modified.
