Hi, 

I'm trying to compile GDAL using the provided makefile.vc files, and I
get the same error right at the beginning.  In doing some google
searches I found some posts in the GDAL archive from some chap that had
the same problem a couple years ago....that chap turned out to be me!
However, back then I did resolve the issue somehow, but it wasn't
resolved with any list help so there's no record of what I did.    This
is a different computer, and the newest version of Visual Studio so the
fact that I'm the only one to ever have this problem I find rather
surprising.   Anyway any suggestions to help me remember what I did?  

Much thanks!  Here's the error: 

***********************************************

Hi Matt,

Theres is a thread on snprintf  problems here -
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.vc.language/browse_thr
ead/thread/32d833e0d1d517af/6021c0870b230253%236021c0870b230253

And in port/cpl_config.h  there are already

#define vsnprintf _vsnprintf

#define snprintf _snprintf

I have just compiled GDAL with MSVC 8, you need to install the windows
SDK as well if you are using the free version.
