[ODE] Makefile.msvc

[Krister Wolff]

Hi,
I'm using ode to simulate a humanoid to evolve walking behavior with Genetic
Programming.
Previously I used ode 0.025 and it worked out nice for me, but when I
decided to upgrade my system to ode 0.03 I've experinced some problems...
I noted that there was a makfile for msvc and I thought that was perfect,
since it should fit better together with my GP-stuff.
I can't simply have Make to build the ode on my system (Win2k and msvc6 with
sp5). Previously with ode 0.025 I used Make with makefile.win32 (which is no
more included with the ode distribution). (I haven't tried to use the
makefile.win32 with the 0.03 distribution, maybe that's the next thing for
me to do?)

I get some errors when i try to build (make all):

cl /nologo /DWIN32 /DMSVC  /DdNODEBUG /Fectest.exe ctest.c
ctest.c
ctest.c(1) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:  'alloca.h': No

Has anyone else experinced similar problems with Make and Makefile.msvc?
Grateful for any clues on what I have missed or what I could do about it.
