RE: Quantlib does not compile under the Microsof t VC++ .NET compilers

[Daniele De Francesco-2]

Dann,

I had the same problem and I was using .NET 2003
Not only the CVS version is perfectly compiling, but you can fix 0.3.3 quite
quickly if you are uncomfortable checking out the latest CVS version.

I fixed it by simply following what the compiler suggests: prefix with
'typename' to indicate a type.
You will have to type that in about 15 places in 4 files and that will be
it.

So either that, or just get it from CVS. In either case it works great.

It fails under both Microsoft VC++ .NET and Microsoft VC++ .NET 2003.

Probably, it is some difference in the implementation of the STL.
