[MS XP SP2] Tcl 8.4.12 Build Problems using VC++ Express Edition

Hi all,

I just tried to build Tcl 8.4.12 on XP with the following steps :

1.) Installed VC++ Express Edition (free) Compiler from Microsoft
2.) The Microsoft PSDK Image for the WIN32 API Support

3.) Did some adaptions in order to Compile for WIN32 API and not for
.NET

4.) Loaded the VC++ V6 Project File from the ./win Subdirectory
and tried to build Tcl.

However I get the many errors. Any hint would be appreciated,
or maybe it is not possible to build Tcl with the free Toolset?
