hi, everyone. I am a new comer to the visual studio. I am currently doing a project and need to use a simulation software called "qualnet". My lab pc is with installed "Visual Studio .NET 2003" and I want to use "Visual C++" to extend the "qualnet" functions.

I did the following steps to try to compile the "qualnet" source:

1. open "command prompt", go to directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin" and type "vcvars32", then "enter" to configure environmental variables needed by "Visual C++"

2. "Visual C++" command line tool should be avaiable after my first step. then I go to "qualnet" main directory to run:"nmake", and I get the following error message:
c:\qualnet\3.7\include\random.h(230) : error C2666: 'pow' : 7 overloads have si
ilar conversions

5): or 'double pow(double,double)'
while trying to match the argument list '(long, double)'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I guess there must be something wrong with my "Visual studio .NET" configuration.
Wish to hear your replies :) thanks a lot!!!!!
