I want to work with UnrealIRCD version 3.2.4 on my temporary network right now, so I want to compile it.
I know that MSVC++ 6.0 cannot compile Unreal 3.2.4 except MSVC++ 7.0 and 7.1, but why MSVC++ 8.0 cant compile? Newest version should be more better than oldest, but there's an errors when I tried to compile UnrealIRCD 3.2.4 with MSVC++ 8.0 (2005).
Please help me how to solves it? Any way to solves it?

Please do not start polls simply to get attention (clear in this case).
As for your question, this is explained in
FAQ: Compiling - Windows: I'm unable to compile UnrealIRCd on windows.
Regarding "newer must be better", this is not always true, and with microsoft... ah well ;p.

I can only find 7.1, Syzop where did you get 7.0?

7.1 should work fine, though yeah modules compiled with it would require the additional dll.
I have an official MSVS 7.0, not the free version, in case you wonder.
As mentioned in the faq, 7.0, 7.1, and 8.0 if using CVS should all work. Yet, I'm not entirely sure if modules with MSVC8 will work really flawlessly on an Unreal compiled with 7.0 :p.
7.1 is used by Stealth for his win32 modules page however, besides the dll thing I haven't heard something too bad about it :P.

Well MSVC8 is not fully works for 3.2.4 version, but does MSVC8 possible that can fully compile a newest Unreal 3.2.x or maybe 3.2.5 or etc. (Above 3.2.4 version). Can you? Or does it need to change a lots of "codes" in the UnrealIRCD sources? Lol, I hate a MSVC8 newest version, lots of build errors.

IIRC they are planning to make 3.2.5 compatible with MSVS 8

Yup, MSVC 8 compiles current CVS (and thus 3.2.5) just fine.

Does 3.2.5 need to compiled with Platform SDK (supports) too? I think that MSVC8's SDK tools are less than the 7.0 and 7.1. I'd compare it last time.
