Compile...no...work!

[lord_nightrose]

After following the instructions in compile.txt to the letter (installed the SDK, have my include paths in the right order, etc.), I still get 102 errors when I try to compile DC++ 0.242 . It all starts off with VC++ 6 telling me that it can't find the namespace _STL . Any ideas?

[GargoyleMT]

I have my include paths in the right order

Sorry, but are you sure?

Your errors quote this line:
c:\visual studio 6\vc98\include\stl\_iterator_base.h

It seems to be likely that VS6 isn't looking in the proper location for the stl library.

[lord_nightrose]

This is what I have:

[GargoyleMT]

Well, if K:\DCPPSRC\STLPORT\ contains the file "algorithm", etc. (vs. another "stlport" subdirectory) then my hunch is probably wrong.

[lord_nightrose]

Yeah, it contains 'algorithm', 'bitset', etc.

[GargoyleMT]

Ah, excellent, looks like you've followed all the right steps, and yet Visual Studio is still using the wrong STL includes. I guess you could use the ugly hack of putting in full path names to stlport into stdinc.h. Or maybe you could modify the projects to list the stlport as an additional include directory... maybe that will force it to the top of the list, as it appears to be right now.
