Compiling with VS 2005

I was talking on irc in the #developers channel and it was suggested I try building my profile build using Visual Studio 2005 instead of with Visual Studio 2008. I'm also using the Vista SDK which might be causing a problem. Might.

Real Error
The folks on irc asked to look at the errors I received so I used pastebin to show the error and they felt that the actual error was not listed and wanted to see the lines before the error I posted. Well I had used redirection for stdout and stderr to 2 files and it turns out that some of the errors were going to stdout. As I looked through my output.txt file I noticed a huge section that was about linker errors. This is when they suggested I try using Visual Studio 2005 after I mentioned I had it.

The Error

e:\mozilla\trunk\modules\lcms\src\cmscgats.c(875) : fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
(compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c[0x511953E5:0x00000008]', line 182)
To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.

Mozilla Community
I like how helpful the Mozilla community is and as a student that is not an avid irc user I forget about the culture and community. I had logged out and switched OS's so I could compile with Visual Studio 2005 and when I jumped back on irc it was about 30 minutes later. I had messaged one of the guys to let them know I was now compiling and he/she didn't seem to remember me. He/she was probably busy and I need to learn how to better discern what is relevant and what is not.

And I cannot worry about making such mistakes. Better to fall and learn then to never jump.
