how to use gettimeofday() or something equivalent with Visual Studio C++ 2008?

In UNIX the use of the timezone struct is obsolete. I don’t know why you use it. See http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl2_gettime.htm But if you want to use this structure to know about GMT(UTC) diffrence from your local time it will be next: tz_minuteswest is the real diffrence in minutes from GMT(UTC) and a tz_dsttime is a flag indicates whether daylight is now in use.

Your example with some changes works fine in Visual C++ 2008 Express:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <time.h>
#include <windows.h> 

const __int64 DELTA_EPOCH_IN_MICROSECS= 11644473600000000;
