Trying to compile an open-source library "librsync" with VS6.0 but getting errors

Hi there,

I am trying to compile librsync (http://sourceforge.net/projects/librsync) in VC++ 6.0. Here is what the readme says:
"The PCbuild directory contains a project and pre-generated config
files for use with the MSVC++ IDE. This should be enought to compile
rdiff.exe without requiring cygwin."

The problem: I'm getting tons of syntax errors from one file. I think there is some switch or option I am not enabling. Below I pasted: 1) The compiler output, and below it 2) delta.c since that's where most errors are from

/**
 * 2002-06-26: Donovan Baarda
 *
 * The following is based entirely on pysync. It is much cleaner than the
 * previous incarnation of this code. It is slightly complicated because in
 * this case the output can block, so the main delta loop needs to stop
 * when this happens.
 *
 * In pysync a 'last' attribute is used to hold the last miss or match for
 * extending if possible. In this code, basis_len and scoop_pos are used
 * instead of 'last'. When basis_len > 0, last is a match. When basis_len =
 * 0 and scoop_pos is > 0, last is a miss. When both are 0, last is None
 * (ie, nothing).
 *
 * Pysync is also slightly different in that a 'flush' method is available
 * to force output of accumulated data. This 'flush' is use to finalise
 * delta calculation. In librsync input is terminated with an eof flag on
 * the input stream. I have structured this code similar to pysync with a
 * seperate flush function that is used when eof is reached. This allows
 * for a flush style API if one is ever needed. Note that flush in pysync
 * can be used for more than just terminating delta calculation, so a flush
 * based API can in some ways be more flexible...
 *
 * The input data is first scanned, then processed. Scanning identifies
 * input data as misses or matches, and emits the instruction stream.
 * Processing the data consumes it off the input scoop and outputs the
 * processed miss data into the tube.
 *
 * The scoop contains all data yet to be processed. The scoop_pos is an
 * index into the scoop that indicates the point scanned to. As data is
 * scanned, scoop_pos is incremented. As data is processed, it is removed
 * from the scoop and scoop_pos adjusted. Everything gets complicated
 * because the tube can block. When the tube is blocked, no data can be
 * processed.
