Problem compiling IM 6.5.3 using MSVC6

I was trying to compile ImageMagick 6.5.3-10 using Microsoft Visual Studio 6 and received following error:

In nt-base.c, change line 512 to

• #if defined(MAGICKCORE_CIPHER_SUPPORT) && defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER > 1200)

Let us know if that works for you.

Yes, it works, thanks.
However, there's still a problem with PerlMagick, I filed another bug there: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14041
