Problem with G_INLINE_FUNC using microsoft compiler

[clement begue <clement begue thalesgroup com>]

Hi everyone!
I downloaded the last CVS snapshot to compile it under Windows.
My compiler is microsoft visual C++ 6.0.
When I try to make the dia lib sources (from makefile.msc in the /lib
directory), I get this error :


the last command that ran in the makefile and its output :

It seems like all the G_INLINE_FUNC functions in the geometry.h files
are ignored, I searched for those symbols in all the .obj files, and
they are nowhere to be found, so it can't link/write these functions in
libdia.dll.
Is there any special parameter you know for visual C++ 6.0 compiler to
have the G_INLINE_FUNC functions work fine?
Are there missing things in the windows makefile.msc?
Should the G_INLINE_FUNC be avoided in visual C++ 6.0?

I really wanted to see the new things (autogap and such things), and the
only system with a correct build environment is windows (solaris not yet
ready as you may have seen in some of my previous mails)...

Thanks in advance for the answers!
