error with the limits library visual c++ - visual-studio

I've trying to compile libSVM on W10 with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise compiler and I get this error.
I type nmake -f makefile.win

It seems some problem with visual studio installation?

I've think that was something related to the C++ Compiler.

OpenSSL NMAKE Unresolved External Symbol

I'm trying to compile a very light version of OpenSSL with many of the features disabled.
Using the post Build openssl with just RSA and AES I have run the build step successfully, but I have a problem when running nmake.
The first time it ran for a few minutes before failing. Now when I run nmake, it fails in the same way without all the previous text. Output shown below.

You seem to be using OpenSSL 3.0 which is the as-yet-unreleased still in development version of OpenSSL that you (presumably) downloaded from the git master branch - which is where all active OpenSSL development goes on. As a development branch this should be considered as unstable and not really suitable for any "real" use. It looks like the no-dsa support is currently broken. A fix is here:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10375
One way to get things working would be to drop "no-dsa" from your Configure line. Or you could apply the fix at the above URL (or wait a couple of days for it to be merged). Probably though the best route is to just use a stable version of OpenSSL. The latest stable version is 1.1.1d which you can download as a tar from here:
https://www.openssl.org/source/
Alternatively if you have the git repo cloned locally then you can check that version out like this:
$ git checkout OpenSSL_1_1_1d

Failing while trying to compile nginx on Windows

When compiling using nmake, I am receiving errors.
At first, I have first tried using msys according to Vern's excellent tutorial: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22649559/5092846
I then tried using msys2 to perform the same steps with the same results

If I understand this correctly, the failure is during the compilation of openssl - in the stdlib.h file(or lack thereof).
The issue was resolved by first launching the "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019" prompt and then running msys from inside of it.

Problems using qxt in Windows

I've been trying to get qxt working in Windows with MSVC 2010.
I have installed Qt 4.8.4 into "D:\Qt\4.8.4", and installed qxt into "D:\libqxt". I configured qxt as follows:
D:\libqxt>configure -prefix D:\libqxt -debug_and_release
And then compiled from the Qt command line:
D:\libqxt>nmake
No errors show up on configuration or compilation, but when I try to compile the examples, I get the following:
D:\libqxt\examples>qmake examples.pro
D:\libqxt\examples>nmake

Examining the makefiles, I see that "D:\libqxt\include" is in the include path, but that isn't where "qxtscreen.h" is located--it's in the "D:\libqxt\src" tree. I could, of course, manually edit the makefiles to add this, but I feel like that shouldn't be required, and perhaps this indicates that I've missed a step. What have I done wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Advices appreciated.
This usually happens when some other application is trying access the file at the same time. For me, it was Dropbox. So, I had to disable the sync.
Another program which accesses the PDB files during compilation is mspdbsrv.exe. This program is started automatically by the build process. Kill it, and remove all the files in tmp32dll folder. It may have been left over from the previous build attempts.
Hope that helps!
I've had this error when I accidentally built with "ms\nt.mak", but then tried to test with "ms\ntdll.mak". Make sure you build and test with the same make file.
