+BACnet Stack - SourceForge.net
+Build for Visual C++ 6.0
+
+When building the BACnet stack using Visual C++ compiler, 
+there are some settings that are important.
+
+Q. error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdint.h': No such file
+
+A. The BACnet stack uses some header files, and Visual C++ needs to know
+where they are:
+1. Select "Project" menu
+2. Select "Settings..."
+3. Select the "C/C++" tab (3rd Tab)
+4. Select the Category: Preprocessor
+5. You can see the "Additional include directories:" box
+6. Type the path to stdint.h in that edit box (using a comma if necessary)
+7. Type the path to bacdcode.h in that edit box (using a comma if necessary)
+In my system, the paths look like:
+c:\code\bacnet-stack\,c:\code\bacnet-stack\ports\win32\
+8. Press OK
+9. Compile the project again...
+
+Q. error C2065: 'MAX_MPDU' : undeclared identifier
+
+A. The BACnet stack uses a preprocessor define to configure
+its datalink layer. In Visual C++, add a Preprocessor Definition by: 
+1. Select "Project" menu
+2. Select "Settings..."
+3. Select the "C/C++" tab (3rd Tab)
+4. Select the Category: General
+5. You can see the "Preprocessor Definitions:" box
+6. Type BACDL_BIP in that edit box (using a comma if necessary)
+7. Press OK
+8. Compile the project again...
+
+Q. error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__closesocket@4
+
+A. Visual C++ needs to have the Winsock library to be happy:
+1. Select "Project" menu
+2. Select "Settings..."
+3. Select the "Link" tab (4th Tab)
+4. You can see "Object/library modules:" edit box
+5. Type Wsock32.LIB in that edit box
+6. Press OK
+7. Compile the project again...
