compiling with win32 mscv6

[Andreas Owen <iaowen hta fhz ch>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build dia because I want to make some uml2-extensions but 
I'm not getting far. I'm new to C so I could use some help and would be 
greatful.


Following steps I haven't succeded to do according to the Dokumentation 
(compiling dia for win32):

13. Add LIBART_CFLAGS to make.msc

14. Download 
http://uml.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dia-installer/dia_extra_src_msvc_dia_0.94-pre1.zip 
and unzip to $TOP.   (I downloaded dia-0.94-pre1-msvc.zip but it didn't 
have much in it.)


I get following error when trying to buil in msvc6:

cd lib
