Try to comment out the following lines from pingus_main.cxx:

  CL_ConsoleWindow cl_console(PACKAGE VERSION);
  cl_console.redirect_stdio();

They are right at the beginning of main(). This should disable the
output window so if you run Pingus from a dos console you should be able
to redirect the output to a file (pingus > log).

Yes, they are the same.

I'm not sure but I guess it should be possible. Read the license.
Otherwise I'll have to get it to compile on my system again. Tried right
now but I got lots of problems and escaped back into linux. ;-)

To get it working with VC++ 6 - I guess it's most likely the namespace.
Could you try to uncomment namespace BlitterImpl and remove the
BlitterImpl:: in front of the calls in blitter.cxx? I consider it very
likely that it will work right then since VC++ 6 isn't strong neither
with templates nor with namespaces. Using both together is a sure
invitation of trouble. :-(
