static lib creating with VCPP Express 2008

[Develop3D]

Hi there,
i am trying to build irrlicht as a static lib on windows7 to be able to step through with the debugger.
I have got pretty everything working except this:

c:\0_arbeiten\bausteine\irrlicht-1.8.4\source\irrlicht\copengldriver.cpp(92) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const wchar_t [18]' to 'const irr::fschar_t *'
1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
and
c:\0_arbeiten\bausteine\irrlicht-1.8.4\source\irrlicht\cirrdevicewin32.cpp(943) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const wchar_t [16]' to 'const irr::fschar_t *'
1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

So it seems like "only" a char conversion problem left over, but i could not find a clue yet.
anybody any idea?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Yeah, that's when you compile with Unicode.
So in Visual Studio you like have set: Configuration Properties - General - Character Set - Use Unicode Character Set
It's possible to compile Irrlicht that way, but then you must pass the define _IRR_WCHAR_FILESYSTEM (either change in IrrCompileConfig.h or pass the define from the project files for Irrlicht and your own project).
Alternatively - don't compile with UNICODE set.
