Cannot build/compile QuantLib VC++ 6 Workspace using Visual C++ v. 7.1.3088

[David Schwartz-8]

I cannot compile QuantLib VC++ 6 Workspace using MS
Visual C++ version 7.1.3088, Microsoft .Net Framework
1.1 version 1.1.4322 under Windows XP Pro version
2002.

First, in order to load above file, I get warning
question:

“The project 'BermudanSwaption.dsp' must be converted
to the current Visual C++ project format. After it has
been converted, you will not be able to edit this
project in previous versions of Visual Studio.

Convert and open this project?”

 
It does that for each project.  I click on "Yes To
All"  then I tried to build only 'BermudanSwaption.’

The first error I get is:

c:\Documents and
Settings\...\ql\Utilities\steppingiterator.hpp(113) :
warning C4346:
'QuantLib::Utilities::stepping_iterator<RandomAccessIterator>::difference_type'
: dependent name is not a type

Lines 109-115 of steppingiterator.hpp are:


template<class RandomAccessIterator>
        inline
stepping_iterator<RandomAccessIterator>::stepping_iterator(

    const RandomAccessIterator& it,
stepping_iterator<RandomAccessIterator>::difference_type
step)
        : dn_(step), it_(it) {}
 
       
Is there something simple I am missing?  Do I need to
“set a flag or toggle?”


Thanks for any help you provide, dave s

David,
         try the following:

a) in ql/config.msvc.hpp there's a line #define CHOKES_ON_TYPENAME.
Move it at the beginning of the file, inside a conditional section which says:
#if _MSC_VER == 1200
// move inside here configs specific to VC++ 6.0

b) in steppingiterator.hpp change the arguments to the function to:

    const RandomAccessIterator& it,
     QL_TYPENAME stepping_iterator<RandomAccessIterator>::difference_type step

Let me know if this works,
                         Luigi
