Thanks to a tip from forum member Ajaja, I made some fixes that make it possible to compile Celestia with Microsoft's newly released Visual Studio 2008 C++ compiler. The changes I made are different that Ajaja's patch, because I wanted to avoid placing any Celestia functions in the std namespace. The compiling problems were all due to some trickiness in C++'s handling of name resolution with nested classes.

Celestia now compiles with Visual Studio 2008

Chris,
Can you use Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK Web Install with MS2008 express? This worked with MS2005 express or does this need to be updated to use with the Visual Studio 2008 C++ compiler?

I've been using the same platform SDK that I used before--no need to switch.
