When porting unix project developed in C language to windows and compiling it with VS 2005, compiler reports errors related to incorrect type conversion like " can not convert 'const char*' to 'char*' ". Is it possible to disable this strong checking through compiler options.
Assuming your code is valid C (C89, specifically, since VC++ doesn't support C99), it will be automatically disabled if you either name the file with a .c extension, or in project properties, set it to "Compile as C"
That should disable all C++-specific features and type checks.
