compiling MapServer in Win XP

Sat Jul 8 19:45:40 EDT 2006

Hi I've installed VC7 and cut most of libraries in the make.opt file so to
obtain the simplest version possibile. 
After a lot of test now I got:

LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "libjpeg.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "objs/freetype2110.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "libjpeg.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "gdal_i.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "gdal_i.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "libcurl.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "src/libming.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "lib/pdflib.lib"; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option
"src/interfaces/libpq/release/libpqd
ll.lib"; ignored
   Creating library mapserver_i.lib and object mapserver_i.exp
regex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _printchar
libmap.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x460'
Stop.

is there anyone who can help me ?  

Thanks in advance and best regards
