MSVC 6 caveats
--------------
If you use MSVC 6 it is required that you use the MS PSDK:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm
The headers and libs provided with MSVC 6 are now more than 10 years old
and not sufficient for a build of libcurl / curl with common features!
Without the PSDK you will run into these issues:
- LDAPv3 is not supported --> breaks compilation
- IPv6 support is incomplete --> breaks compilation
- socklen_t type is missing --> breaks compilation
If you really need to compile without PSDK then you can workaround these
issues by disabling LDAP and IPv6 support, and adding a line:
typedef int socklen_t;
to the winsock2.h header. This is however not recommended, and you should
use the PSDK whenever possible!
