Comment (by rcurtin):

 I won't be able to look into this until Monday (~36 hours) because I don't
 have my Windows system handy, so it may be a bit before I have a fix.  I
 think Visual Studio doesn't have a C99 conformant compiler (only C89) so
 uint64_t ends up not typedef'ed.  My first guess at a fix would be to
 typedef uint64_t myself, maybe before including <mlpack/core.hpp> or in
 core.hpp (whatever is convenient).

 {{{
 typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;
 }}}

 I think the actual fix I commit will have to have some checks that sort of
 look like that and then define uint64_t if it isn't defined.  I'd like to
 test if this works okay on a 64-bit box (I'm pretty sure it does?  Not
 certain) too, but like I said it'll be a while until I can.  Hopefully
 this fix can help you get by for now.
