[Bug-gnubg] Some small steps of MSVC compiling

[Øystein O Johansen]

Hi,

I can now compile nearly all files in GNU Backgammon with MSVC. I only have
to make some small adjustments to some files, and I'm able to compile the
important parts of the code. (I'll write furter about the changes, later)

I'm now doing some simple testing. One of the problems I'm having is
reading of binary weights. I will look further into that. I'm therefore
reading all weights for the ascii file. The strange thing is that I don't
get exactly the same results as the gcc build. So -- can anyone compile and
run this simple attached program? Test with both the gnubg.wd file and the
gnubg.weights file and report back to me the results.

In the linking you will need these objects:
libtest.o eval.o drawboard.o positionid.o pub_eval.o bearoff.o
bearoffgammon.o matchequity.o matchid.o erf.o i18n.o path.o br1.o
lib/list.o lib/neuralnet.o lib/hash.o lib/isaac.o lib/md5.o

This is my output:
