compiling dc++

Ok,

i'm a n00b.

I'm trying to compile dc++ using vs2003 but keep getting the same error - i.e. namespace stl not defined.
I know this means that the path to stlport is not correctly set in vs. But i have tried just about anything i can think of - included it - set it in the lib path - the executables etc.

Can someone pls spell out for me what should be the configuration for vs for the build to work?

btw i did a command line compile of the stlport thingy, so i have the compiled files in the lib subdir - my first try was to include this in the library file locations for vs

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ok this is how I was explained on how to compile a client,

Download the source
Unzip the source
Click on the file named "RunMe-then-DeleteMe.bat"
Go into the folder marked Docs and Stuff/Bats
Click on the file named "RunMe-then-DeleteMe.bat"
Click on the file named "add-includes.bat"
Click on the file named "build-beta.bat"
Wait a while and you should have a new client all ready to start up in the folder named "app"

Nomad_Soul, you need to have the correct files at the correct place. Try downloading and unzipping DCPlusPlus-STLPort-4.6.2 from Sourceforge DC++ site. Then put this path in Options->Projects->VC++ Directories->Include files.

Golitath them batch files are only in dcdm (and derivatives).
You should really look at dc++ source (and settings), before commenting on something you know nothing about.

GOLIATH, for these DCDM++ bat files to work, you already need WinRAR if i remember correctly. and i don't think this is a good way to explain someone how to compile, just making him clik bat files and waiting til the rars extract automagically...
IMHO, it's better he understands the prerequisites by himself.

why dosent anybody ever read the first part of my comments? now I know for a act I said "ok this is how I was explained on how to compile a client"....I said that just so people wouldnt say I was wrong, I mearly explained it as how it was told to me, if im wrong then Im wrong....and as it seems I am but there is no need to get smart about it, damm just say I am wrong, you hurt my feelings post when you say things like that about me

tx guitarm

appears i was using stlport 5.0.1 instead of 4.6.2
i dl'd the right one and behold - build works

You can use STLPort 5.0.x if you want to too. You just need to commen/uncomment #defines in stl_user_config.h. Do a diff between this file in these two versions and you will see what I mean.
