>From the tip of my head (non-exhaustive):
- fltk_backend.cc uses xget_ancestor, which is not properly exported
and not supposed to be part of the API: I solved that by moving the
functionality to the graphics_object class
- gcd.cc uses MSVC-unsupported templating code: I had to break down
the 3 template version of simple_gcd into simple_gcd, simple_gcd_cplx
and simple_gcd_int and provide the function as an argument to do_simple_gcd
(maybe not the best option, but that's the only I found to be working)
- can't build documentation, it chokes on @leq{}: still unsolved, this used
to work before and I have no idea why it doesn't work now
- __magick_read__.cc: apparently MSVC can't resolve pow(int,int)
and hesitate between pow(double,int), pow(double,double), pow(float,float)...
solved by casting arguments explicitely
- probably other minor things I don't remember right now
