Can not build on Visual Studio 2003 about google-glog HOT 3 OPEN

strerror_s() may be defined since vs2005

Searching for localtime_s finds 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a442x3ye(VS.80).aspx which seems to 
indicate that this function is declared under Windows, in file time.h.

Looking at the file windows/port.h, we see the following block of code right at 
the top:


#ifdef _WIN32

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN  /* We always want minimal includes */
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock.h>         /* for gethostname */
#include <io.h>              /* because we so often use open/close/etc */
#include <direct.h>          /* for _getcwd() */
#include <process.h>         /* for _getpid() */
#include <stdio.h>           /* read in vsnprintf decl. before redifining it */
#include <stdarg.h>          /* template_dictionary.cc uses va_copy */
#include <string.h>          /* for _strnicmp(), strerror_s() */
#include <time.h>            /* for localtime_s() */
/* Note: the C++ #includes are all together at the bottom.  This file is
 * used by both C and C++ code, so we put all the C++ together.
 */

This seems to indicate that the variable _WIN32 is not defined.  But this 
article 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/662084/whats-the-difference-between-the-win32
-and-win32-defines-in-c seems to indicate that _WIN32 should automatically be 
defined by your compiler...

Hi, 

- @tom.ritchford .. VS.NET 2003 does not contain the localtime_s etc methods, 
the link you provided is for VS.NET 2005. still its very easy to replace those 
methods with the none-safe versions..

- This won't solve the varargs problem.. A way to get around this can be found

But that would just be hacks just to let VS.NET 2003 compile..
