What project did you download?
Maybe it's easier to fix the project.

Since you have chosen to ignore the warning in the readme, then you will have to check and correct each error in turn.

All I can say the legacy project in question is awfully sloppy. Nevertheless, such compatibility problems, especially from VC6.0 to later versions, are a commonplace. That said, that version of compiler itself was quite sloppy and now is well obsolete. You should address each failure to compile separately; and it can be quite painful. Or write the project from scratch, using the legacy one only as a reference. There is no other way.

We have to live with some limitations of MS and VS.

I have done few very easy steps in past. My suggestion would be to:

1. Create Project/Solution in VS 2008
2. Configure projest settings. There are ways to get that automatically done. But better do manually to avoide any issues.
3. Now add source code (.h & .cpp) from VS 6.0.

Sometime you will still get few compilations or linking errors. Those needs to be resolved manually.

Hope this help.

Solution 2

Open the Source-Code using NotePad or SublimeText, etc. and Copy the Code into an VS2008 Project.
