FCollada ColladaMax and 3dMaxSDK

Getting FCollada to compile with VC++ 2008

When trying to build from the converted VC2005 solution file, you will encounter quite a few errors regarding mismatching declaration of _vsnprintf.

error C3163: '_vsnprintf': attributes inconsistent with previous declaration

the last post in this thread clarifies how this error arrises in common practice. To get it to compile I commented out these lines:

• FUtils/Platforms.h:145
• LibXML/config.h:92
• LibXML/include/win32config.h:90
• DLLEntry:40 (this one was just a missing symbol or something deprecated in new the PSDK shipping with VC9, the case statement is empty so commenting it out should have no effect)

I should clearly note that I haven’t tested it (running etc.), I simply got it to build to help save our tools guy a bit of time. I should also note that the Unit Tests (FColladaTest) project builds but returns about 60 linker errors. I just thought I’d post here to save someone a bit of hassle if they should run into this error.
