It would be nice if the compiler were kind enough to tell us just what 
it didn't like about line 3982 of src/netlib.c...

I'm not sure that what I have presently as that line is what the bits 
you have does, but that would seem to be:

/* get percentile from histogram */
int
HIST_get_percentile(HIST h, const double percentile){
   int num = (int) h->total * percentile;
   int last = 0;
   int current = 0;
   int result;

Specifically the "int num = ..." bit.

I do not have a Windows build environment at the moment - I'm *guessing* 
it is unhappy about the mixed types and casting but that is only a guess 
since there is no actual warning text in that compiler output :(

On that one, there seems to be an '>' appended to the macro name.  That 
is something the Linux compiler didn't tweak on.  You can try going in 
with an editor and cleaning that one up and see what else it complains 
about.  I've fixed that one at least in the top-of-trunk


happy benchmarking,
