ice without STLPORT?

orphean

Hi.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I _need_ ICE to work on MSVC++ 6.0, without STLPORT.

We have our own internal modifications to get by the broken STL implementation on VC++6 and that is clashing with STLPORT.

How much work would it be to go through the ICE code and pull out all references to STLPORT and place ours in.

I apologize if this is a dumb question. Just looking to see if you guys think its even logical to do

Hi,

I believe the only change you'd need to make would be to disable the following code in include/IceUtil/Config.h:

//
// If we use Visual C++ 6.0, we must use STLport
//
#if defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER < 1300) && !defined(_STLP_BEGIN_NAMESPACE)
#   error "Ice for Visual C++ 6.0 requires STLport"
#endif

Give it a try and see what happens.

Good luck,

and this is what i get ..

C:/Ice-3.0.0-VC60/include\IceUtil/Mutex.h(141) : error C2065: 'TryEnterCriticalSection' : undeclared identifier

tracing back, shouldn't this be picked up automatically by WINDOWS.h and WINBASE.h..

am i doing somethign wrong?

Which operating system are you using?

sigh

Using NT, well, I gave this to the compiler as an option

CPPFLAGS += /D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400

and that solves the compile error, but i guess our implementation of some of the STL leaves a lot to be resolved, I get a lot of linking errors..

yeah, so can't really handle basic_string

arggh. works wonderfully on Linux, and sadly can't use it on MSVC++ 6.0, which is needed by us..

thanks a ton for the help!
