Compiling Snort Source Code version 2.9 in Windows with Visual Studio 2008

[Ong Wen Jian <wen.jian.ongx () gmail com>]

To whom it may concern;


I'm Ong Wen Jian, I'm a Master Student currently working on my research
project related to Snort & IPv6 and also Engineer working with Intel
Corporation. I had downloaded the Snort source code version 2.9 from
www.snort.org but I face a problem in compiling the source code in
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

When I try to compile the source code on Visual Studio 2008, I got a lot of
error message and mostly is due to the file / library not found.  I suspect
it is due to the Makefile issue. The Makefile provided is for GCC compiler
on UNIX.

Could you share with me some of your tips on how you able to compile the
snort source code on Windows ? Is that I need to modify the Makefile in
order to compile the source code in Windows in VIsual Studio 2008 ?
