[Coin-discuss] windows - Visual Studio 6.0

[Matthew Galati]

Hi Folks,

I am building COIN in M$ Windoze using Visual Studio 6.0 - for someone 
else ;)

Found the following compiler errors (these are all easily fixable) in CLP:
c:\cygwin\home\mgalati\math\coin\clp\clpdynamicmatrix.cpp(1816) : error 
C2374: 'j' : redefinition; multiple initialization

Also, in CGL:
c:\cygwin\home\mgalati\math\coin\cgl\cglclique.cpp(154) : error C2589: 
'(' : illegal token on right side of '::'
c:\cygwin\home\mgalati\math\coin\cgl\cglclique.cpp(154) : error C2059: 
syntax error : '::'

These are related to the use of std::max in VS6.0, which conflicts with 
windows max. I think if you change all the std::max to max and 
#include<algorithm>, using namespace std at the top, this should be 
portable.

Did I miss an announcement that CglClique had been added?


Also, at runtime, I crashed in CLP with the following stack:
KERNEL32! 7c57e592()
ROOT! _CxxThrowException at 8 + 57 bytes
ROOT! __RTDynamicCast + 383 bytes
ClpPackedMatrix::scale(ClpSimplex * 0x0012fad4) line 1255 + 23 bytes

mainCRTStartup() line 206 + 25 bytes
KERNEL32! 7c581af6()

By adding NO_RTTI to the preprocessor defines and rebuilding CLP, it 
seems to run fine.
