Hi Martin, We are using VC6 but have also got VC7 projects. Our command line build for windows uses the VC6 generated makefiles. We don't think that's possible in VC7+. Of course the best solution will be to create a "proper" commnad line build.
We are just starting to restructure the code so will be modifying build. How do you manage yours? We are using Automake for linux platforms. Do you have a handcrafted windows build? Anyho... to start with we will be looking at the SDO project to use stdcxx as SCA is going through a bit of a transformation at the moment. I have a couple of questions regarding compatibility. If I have a library function that say returns a std::string and this is built using stdcxx, would any client of that function (separate library) also have to built with stdcxx?? In other words by exposing stl interfaces that are built using stdcxx are we mandating that any clients also use stdcxx? Cheers, On 10/08/06, Martin Sebor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi again, Just following up on this thread to see if there's anything we can do from our side to help you all with the migration, or any concerns or questions I can answer. I have noticed that some people are still using MSVC 6 to compile Tuscany. I'm curious whether there are any plans to upgrade to a more recent and more conforming compiler. Stdcxx is being tested with 7.1, and 8.0 (i86, IA64, and EM64T) but the 6.0 port would likely need some work.
