Compiling Zabbix Agentd 1.4.6 on Windows

[toteleiche]

Hi there

I'm trying to compile Zabbix Agentd 1.4.6 Stable on Windows using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and I'm a total newbie in compiling on Windows.

I loaded the Solution into Visual Express and it ran the "Conversion Wizard" whit following Warnings:
------------------------------------------
Conversion Issues - zabbix_agentd.vcproj:
Web deployment to the local IIS server is no longer supported. The Web Deployment build tool has been removed from your project settings.
Project upgraded successfully.
This application has been updated to include settings related to the User Account Control (UAC) feature of Windows Vista. By default, when run on Windows Vista with UAC enabled, this application is marked to run with the same privileges as the process that launched it. This marking also disables the application from running with virtualization. You can change UAC related settings from the Property Pages of the project.
------------------------------------------

And when I try to build the Solution the log is full of errors:

1>------ Build started: Project: zabbix_get, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
2>------ Build started: Project: zabbix_agentd, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
2>Compiling messages...
2>mc : error : 0x2 trying to open file <messages>.
2>Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Compiling messages..."
1>d:\home\zabbix-1.4.6\include\sysinc.h(77) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'grp.h': No such file or directory

Is there anyone who knows how to fix these errors ?

yop, that's not the answer to your question but why don't you use the binary provided in the 1.4.6 package (already compiled) ?

Ok, you got me, didn't thought of searching for binaries when downloading the "Source" packet ^^

Thanks a lot vinny
