There were a few compile errors when trying to build gambit with the visual studio c++ compiler. After these changes gambit seems to work fine. Marc, maybe you can include them in the source. Thanks.

Hello all.
I'd like to compile and link gambit generated code with C++ code. Looking at previous posts on this mailing list the way to do it is to build gambit with a c++ compiler. I have Visual Studio 2008. I tried adding the options -TP (compile as C++ code) and -EHsc (enable c++ exceptions) to misc/vc2008.bat but the code does not compile without modifications (there is some type casting from void* to non-void* which require explicit cast in c++).
What is the proper way to build gambit using the Visual Studio 2008 c++ compiler? On unix systems I can pass --enable-cplusplus option to configure. Can I setup mingw or cygwin to do the same on Windows? If so how do I do this?
Also the windows binary distribution of Gambit 4.6.0 opens a new window when running "gsc -exe test.scm". Once the compile finishes the window is closed immediately making it hard to read the output. I notice when I compile gambit using vc2008.bat it does not open a new window. It would be better if the official binary distribution did this as well. I notice that for binaries that I build using gsc if I define _WINDOWS it opens a new console window. Maybe the official windows binary distribution compiles gsc with _WINDOWS defined?
Thank you
