help compiling

Hi, I've searched thru the forum and I didn't find a solution for my problem. The only possible thing is the SDK is not up to date. But anyway I am trying to compile DC++. I just installed a fresh copy of Windows and VS2003. I downloaded the STLport 4.6.2 and WTL 7.1 from the website. I put a refernce to both folders and I made sure to have STLport on the top. Yet when I compile I get lots of warnings and then it tells me that my STLport is not installed properly.

Please help me

No, your SDK is not out of date. That comment in compile.txt was strictly for VS 6.0, and it's been removed in CVS.

You say you put a reference to the stlport and wtl directories - did you put them in Tools > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories > Include (dropdown)? It's hidden, maybe you put them in a Libraries or Executables instead?

sorry about the wrong forum. I just figured it out. I was using hte source for 0.401 and not 0.403. You should mention this on the website cuz its kinda confusing. I never thought this could have been the problem especially since 0.403 is "unstable".

The changes to stlport/wtl are all documented in the changelog, and both source for 0.401 and 0.403 are offered, what more can be done? You figured it out.

The correct versions of stlport / wtl aren't supplied for the stable version 0.401,

I had this myself first too, so i just went on using the 'unstable' 0.403 version of dc++.

Enough with the 'stable' and 'unstable', ok?

They are available, you just have to know where to look: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dcplusplus/

I don't know of any reason someone should use 0.401 instead of 0.4032. If you start changing the 0.401 source, you're already behind in terms of features.
