Need Help to Fix Unusual build error from an imported visual studio solution

[mikeplusplus]

So the whole story is: I'm trying to build the Image Engine's cortex plugin for Maya 2011 x64, but I wasn't able to do it with vc++ 2008 express (I get a cl.exe error because I guess cl.exe isn't made to build for 64-bit workstations). Which is why I'm trying codeblocks. It doesn't give me a "error spawing cl.exe" issue, but it now says this:

Code

Have you read this: http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/index.html?url=./files/Setting_up_your_build_env_Windows_env_32bit_and_64bit.htm,topicNumber=d0e677766 ?
Also you need to read this: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_What_Code::Blocks_is_not.3F
And this: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F

In short you need a 64bit vc++ 9.1 compiler a.k.a. the compiler in visual studio 2008 sp1. Using anything else won't work.
Probably the compiler in visual studio express 2008 sp1 is the same, I don't know.
I think, I'm using C::B + the compiler in vs express 2005 to build for Maya 2009 32bit.

p.s. search the wiki howto setup C::B and VStudio's compiler, if you want to build with C::B
p.p.s. next time please use code tags to post pastes

Thanks, but native vc++ express 2008 doesn't have x64 support at all, and my attempts to force it to have resulted in it being broken permanently, it seems. VC++ express 2010 seems to work though, but code::blocks doesn't use that compiler as yet?
