When compiling mapserver with Visual Studio 2005 the following error occurs:

cl /nologo /Zi /MD /EHsc /w /DDEBUG -Ic:/projects/gdwin32

This problem is dedicated to the old style (not ANSI compliant) function
definitions in regex.c like

size_t
regerror (errcode, preg, errbuf, errbuf_size)
    int errcode;
    const regex_t *preg;
    char *errbuf;
    size_t errbuf_size;
{
...}

Ok, this fix could help. But I don't know how to handle it as a fix inside 
mapserver. Maybe it can be reported as a known issue. Thank you.

Hi

Nice to find this one.
I had the problem with Mapserver 5

Is downloading the attachement from here still the solution in MS5?

Bye

   New version of regex.c to work with Visual Studio 2005

@szekerest is this patch still needed on newer versions of visual studio and/or recent versions of mapserver? if not, I would close this one, with the "Too Old" label

[szekerest]

No patch required with the current version
