Using talloc in an embedded windows project

[Rodney Elliott]

Hi Matthieu.

I am not sure exactly what information you are asking for, so I will try my
best to cover all options. I have a simple test project whose code contains
calls to talloc functions.

I am at the stage where I am unable to compile this code as GCC complains about
not being able to find 'config.h'. Whenever I attempt to run the command 'waf
configure' in python when in the .\talloc-2.0.8\buildtools\bin directory, I
get the following error:

>>> waf configure
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Likewise with:

>>> waf --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#17>", line 1, in <module>
    waf --version
NameError: name 'waf' is not defined

This may well be a problem with the way I am using waf (being a total python
neophyte - I am assuming the waf configure command is correct based upon the
Stack Overflow post I mentioned), or the way I am using (or abusing) python,
rather than a problem with waf itself.

If on the other hand you wish to know the errors the compiler throws if I
create a blank 'config.h' file, I have included the first few below - please
let me know if you want the whole lot.
