The const modifiers don't seem to be the issue.

Something funny going on.

I'm building epan\addr_resolv.c

Comparing .c files generated after pre-processing for VS2010 and VS2012 
(using /E option) I see:

1. the file generated with the VS2010 compiler (using V7.0A SDK)
[...\WS2tcpip.h]
has only the inet_pton() declaration from inet_v6defs.h (extern ...)
(Even though ws2tcpip.h is included).

2. the file generated with VS2012 (using the V8 SDK)
[C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.0\include\um\ws2tcpip.h]
has the inet_pton() declaration from *both* inet_v6defs.h *and* ws2tcpip.h.

// from inet_v6defs.h
extern int ws_inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);

// from ws2tcpip.h
__declspec(dllimport)
INT
 __stdcall
ws_inet_pton(
                                     INT             Family,
                                     PCSTR           pszAddrString,
           PVOID           pAddrBuf
    );


The existance of the 2nd declaration causes the 'different type 
modifiers' error.


===============

I'm out of time to dig further.

If no one else finds out what's happening (feel free), I should be able 
to do further difgging in a day or so.
