Compiling STLPort with VC8

Everytime i try to compile i get this error:

C:\STLPort\src>nmake all clean

Stop.

Here's what i do:
1. Run >> cmd
2. Execute VCVars32.bat from Visual Studio
3. Rename "vc71.mak" to "makefile"
4. execute "nmake all clean" in stlports src directory

I forgot to mention that i'm using Visual Studio 8, Express 2005....

you have to realise that the express versions aren't very good at anything really...

What would you recommend that i use then?
And is it freeware?

Nothing capable of compiling DC++ is freeware. Visual C++ 2003 is $100 and available through http://www.amazon.com.

Wow! - Well... I don't have 100$

I actually managed to compile STL 5.0.0 with the Express...
Just had to run "SetEnv.Cmd" under Platform SDK before compiling

I've compiled the 5.0.0 version, and installed....
Now what do i do?

Where am i supposed to put the dll files, and fix that _STL(namespace) problem..?

YOU CAN'T COMPILE DC++ WITH EXPRESS EDITION

Post by **ullner** » 2005-11-29 06:46

The client part can (should) be compiled with GCC...

According to the official MS FAQs, Studio Express doesn't include ATL, which is needed for DC++ and WTL. There was a post on the WTL mailing list about getting Express to compile WTL applications, you might have luck in finding it and following the instructions.

The STLPort that DC++ uses doesn't need to be compiled, presumably you could use the same configuration (or an adapted one) with STLPort 5.0 and not have to compile it either.

However, name mangling is different between compilers, so if you do that it won't be able to link with the UI code.
