The structure of the source code was changed to add 2 libraries "gambcgsi" and "gambcgsc" which allow linking to the interpreter or the compiler (instead of just the runtime library). The project file vstudio.zip has not been updated. If you want to get this to work use the batch file misc/vcexpress.bat as a starting point (sorry, I'm not much of a VC user...).

I have problems compiling v4.2.5 with Visual C++ 2003 std (as stated in the title).
This procedure worked perfectly with v4.0.1:
- untar source tree.
- copy include/config.h.in and include/gambit.h.in to ".h" and
configure @.*@ strings from gambit.h.
- unzip the "vstudio.zip" file in the source root folder.
- open the gambc.sln file.
- remove ___SINGLE_HOST from the "Release" preprocessor options (I'm
just too impatient.. in fact, I think it fails due to not enough memory on my machine).
- build the project with "Release" configuration
If I do the same procedure with v4.2.5, the "lib", "gsi" and "gsc" projects compiles properly, but gsi and gsc fail during the link phase. I compared and I have the exact same command line for the linker in both cases.
