This is the error I get:

In file included from c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\core\qgsapplication.cpp:17:
c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\core\qgsapplication.h:101: error: use of enum
`ENDIAN' without previous declaration
c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\core\qgsapplication.h:101: error: expected
unqualified-id before '{' token
c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\core\qgsapplication.h:105: error: ISO C++
forbids declaration of `endian_t' with no type
c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\core\qgsapplication.h:108: error: `endian_t'
does not name a type
c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\core\qgsapplication.cpp:208: error: expected
constructor, destructor, or type conversion before "QgsApplication"

Then when I tried to remove CORE_EXPORT from defiintion of enum
ENDIAN, qgsapplication.cpp compiled successfully. But then when
compiling gui library I get another error qgsprojectionselector.cpp

In file included from c:\Martin\dev\qgis\src\gui\qgsprojectionselector.cpp:20:
c:/Martin/dev/qgis/src/gui/../core/qgsapplication.h:73: error:

c:/Martin/dev/qgis/src/gui/../core/qgsapplication.h:82: error:

I haven't investigated further...

Btw. now I've managed to setup MSVC++ Express Edition, using these notes:
http://bfilter.sourceforge.net/doc/vc2005express.php
But this allowed me to use only "NMake Makefiles" cmake generator. To
use also "Visual Studio 8 2005" generator, I had to do these steps:
