I am trying to compile the included hello.c example from Mongoose under Windows. I am using the Microsoft Visual command prompt and I have copied the mongoose.c and mongoose.h to the same directory as the hello.c example.
When I write "cl hello.c" I get the following output/error:

There is a Makefile included with the examples and I have tried to use the Makefile to do the build, but do not understand how to do this. If i try "nmake hello.exe". I get the following output/error:

Stop.
EDIT I have also tried the to compile like instructed in the user manual which on windows should translate to "cl hello.c mongoose.c -o hello.exe" but then I get the following error message:

Does anyone have suggestions on what steps needs to be taken in order to compile the hello.c example for Mongoose under Windows?
I found out that the issue with my third try above was that "_snprintf" has been depreached and replaced by "_snprintf_s" in the C version used by Visual Studio 10. I thus replaced the one occurence of "_snprintf" with _snprintf_s and it worked.
