Need help compiling a source code
Hi all!
This is my first time compiling something in C so please do not look
strangely at this post as it might contain some things that come
naturally to you.
So here's the problem; I've have to make a program that will download a
database off the net and display it. So since I've been sleeping in my
C class I needed help. But it turned out that all of my classmates were
sleeping at that class to (yes it gets boring as hell), so I got a
perfect source code via Google of course. It's a Japanese-English
translator that downloads the database off the net. But the problem is
I just simply can't compile it. I have a Visual Studio 2005 and the
source code was written in 2003 so my VS tries to convert it and here's
where the problem begins. If I just open the project and try to compile
the source without touching it, it displays so many errors that it
makes my stomach turn.
So I was wondering does anybody mind trying to compile the source code
just to so if it compiles, that I'm not wasting my time trying to fix
it and compile it if it's no good to begin with?
Here's the link to the source code: http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/9/27/242234/jpdic-src.zip
Thank you all in advance I really hope that somebody can help me (If somebody thinks that the problem is simply that VS converts the code wrongly please tell me and I'll get the 2003 version at school).
