Re: nmap-4.02CSW failed build on Windows XP built in VS 2005 Express

[kx <kxmail () gmail com>]

The pow(5.0, ...) patch works well.

The #define works less so, and for whatever reason, the compiler is
only respecting it when compiling nbase and nsock, but not nmap.
*sigh*  Not to mention, dnet and libpcre throw the same warnings. It
is just warnings, but it annoying.  If possible, would you mind adding
the define to the .sln file for all configurations of all projects.
Not sure on the VS 2003 interface, but here is what I do in VS2005:

For each project: Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties ->
C/C++ -> Command Line and then select All Configurations from the
Configurations drop box and place /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" in the
text box.

I know that means opening up VS and 5 cut and pastes, but it would be
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
  kx
