ts_chen,

I don't think VC++ 6 is up to building GEOS.  I would encourage you to download
or otherwise acquire visual studio 2005 or 2008 express and try with that.  I
believe it should work with the provided makefiles. If you have some makefile
problems, try grabbing the 3.0 branch from SVN or perhaps use:

   http://home.gdal.org/tmp/geos-3.0.1a1.tar.gz

Best regards,
