Hi badger,
I just checked out the provided .dsw (converted it with "MS Visual Studio
2008, version 9.0.30729.1 SP" (VS Studio Express C++))...
What I did:
* checkout from CVS the latest version
* open libssh2/win32/libssh2.dsw with my VSStudio
* press "yes to all" at the conversion question
* build everything in debug mode
I get these errors:

I think the error level is fine (W3 is good enough), and the warnings it
give are all reasonable in fact...
For example a time_t is generally an "unsigned int", but nowadays (as we
aproach 2038) this is generally an unsigned long long or so. Converting
this to a long might pose problems in the "near" future.
Same goes for the other warnings...
W4 would be way too high, but it might be usefull to have a look at them
to see if you might have some very hard to debug errors (like comparing
(DWORD)-1==-1 or so):
"conditional expression is constant"
"unreferenced formal parameter"
"'=' : conversion from 'int' to 'char', possible loss of data"
"nonstandard extension, function/data pointer conversion in expression"
"'==' : signed/unsigned mismatch"
"potentially uninitialized local variable 'data' used"
Grtz,
Steven

So what "error levels" are you guys using and what do you think we should
consider a "sensible" level to be?

Probably this is because you use the default projects. I re-create my
project via CMake so I could hang it in my current build-tree.
Very probably the error level is higher than the one in the default
projects?

I am using VS2008 and don't get any warnings. In my pre-build events, I am
copying the libssh2_config.h from the win32 directory in the source to the
src directory.
