error while compiling dll using XPCOM header files

[jerome]

Good day!

I'm currently working on the modification of an existing plug-in, so that it will work on Netscape 6. I usually get errors when compiling the dll and the errors came from the header files of XPCOM. My question is do I need to configure something on VC++ or do I need some files to be included.

I hope anyone could give an answer or ideas regarding this matter.

thanks.

Here are the errors that i have encountered:
