As I mentioned building with VC8 (VS2005) is not easy.  You can either switch to VC 2008 (Express is free as in beer) as recommended, or edit config.nmake to disable GEOIP functionality.  You may still need to more than that though to complete a VC8 compile as the Lua library is compiled with a later version that leads to C run-time issues.
