[C++-sig] STLPort problems

[Mike Thompson]

I'm getting compile time errors when building Boost.Python using STLport.

I'm using the following combination:

     Python     2.3
     Boost      1.30.2
     STLport   4.5.3
     VC++ 6
on Windows XP Pro

These compile time problems (see below) do NOT happen if I remove use of
STLport and just use the VC++6 standard libs. When I do that I get a clean
compile.

To get around the problem, I have tried overnight cvs and I've also tried using
the VC6 projects supplied in the distribution.  Exactly the same problem each
time.  No difference.

The compile errors occurs on some, but not all, files.

Here are the first few error lines when I use 1.30.2 and the supplied VC6
projects:

...... etc


I will now delve deeper, but wanted to make sure I'm not making an obvious
mistake.  To build, I'm using a batch file like this:


rem  Get environment right for compiler -- comment out after first run
rem "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT"

rem  Setup for Boost.Python
set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Python23
set PYTHON_VERSION=2.3

rem Setup for Boost 'toolset'
set STLPORT_PATH=C:\proj\libs
set STLPORT_4.5.3_PATH=C:\proj\libs\STLport-4.5.3
set STLPORT_VERSION=4.5.3

bin.ntx86\bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc-stlport"
