Building with VS-Express 2013

["Gisle Vanem" <gvanem () yahoo no>]

I've tried and failed to build Nmap using Visual-Studio 2013 Express
on my new Win 8.1 computer. It has worked for years on Win-XP
using VS 2010 Express (cl v. 16.x). But now the C++ headers
in CL v.18.x seems to require <system_error> and <errno.h> everywhere.

Analysing this, the blame seems to be in nbase/nbase_winunix.h:

 #define _INC_ERRNO  /* suppress errno.h */
 #define _ERRNO_H_ /* Also for errno.h suppression */
 #define _SYSTEM_ERROR_

This causes (in e.g. FPEngine.cc):
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(222) : error C2504: 'system_error' : base class undefined
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(224) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. 
  Note: C++ does not support default-int
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(224) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '&'
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(230) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. 
  Note: C++ does not support default-int
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(230) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '&'
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(224) : error C2065: '_Errcode' : undeclared identifier
 f:\ProgramFiler-x86\VSExpress-2013\VC\include\xiosbase(227) : error C2614: 'std::ios_base::failure' : illegal 
 member initialization: 'system_error' is not a base or member
etc.

Another thing. In scan_engine.h:
 #define PS_NONE 0

'PS_NONE' is now also an enum member in
<MS_SDK-8.1-root>/include/ShObjIdl.h. Included from <shlobj.h>.


Anybody here who have had success building Nmap+Nping etc. on
Win 8.x?
