These do not strike me as Microsoft vs the world things.
Assuming the code was not to horrible to start with,
some typedefs and class definitions are not getting done.
E.g. it seems that AbdSimpleProgress should be typedefed to int.
Perhaps some header is not being found,
but the compiler proceeds anyway.
That really should be an error and a show-stopper,
but I know that for gcc, sometimes it isn't.
Maybe it isn't always for Microsoft either.
