Hi Eric!

The problem is: for every target, you need a different compiler!

But you can just swicth the target compiler by changing the environment
variables. See
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat

You can change the target by executing:

x86:
vcvarsall x86

x64 (build on an x86 OS):
vcvarsall x86_amd64

IA64 (build on an x86 OS):
vcvarsall.bat x86_ia64

Yeah, I just found this tool but it doesn't work. The problem, I have
Windows XP x64. Thus, I can just execute
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe

First: if you have an x64 OS, VS is NOT installed in %ProgramFiles%
instead it is installed in %ProgramFiles(x86)% !

I can't execute

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe (for X86)
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\x86_amd64\cl.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\x86_ia64\cl.exe

because : mspdb80.dll can't be found

Please take a look into vcvarsall.cmd!!!
And you must use a 32-bit command prompt!
%SystemRoot%\syswow64\cmd.exe

(or was it:
%SystemRoot%\wow6432\cmd.exe !?)
