Compile with VS 2008 problems: missing C99 support from MS

[CertHaramas]

Hello,
there is a (probably persistent) problem with compiling lfs.c with Visual Studio cl.exe: missing support for C99 - see the file attached.
There are two ways how to solve it:

1. Make some minor corrections of the code (enclosing parts of the code into { ... } in most), or
2. compile as C++ - but this requires some additional cast at a couple of places (void * -> char *) and adding external "C" somewhere, also lfs.c -> lfs.cpp or adding "/TP" option when to be compiled with MS cl.exe.

Would you accept the changes if I make them and pass the altered lfc.c here?

• This would make the lfs more usable for those who use Visual Studio together with luarocks as a package manager...

Best regards,

Lukas
