STLPort - VC++ 2008 - Build Git

[Never Best]

I can't seem to build anything since the build directory was changed from build/lib to src.
2010-01-21 - HEAD  (Does NOT work)
2008-09-30 - 62d9b0d0b389acdc538557142bb2156ee6044dd7 (Does NOT work)
2008-08-26 - f0149dfa8c1554fe8b5256ce21c1d8c948e5a631 (DOES work)

I assume I must be doing something horribly wrong ;)  I'm using Visual Studio 2008, Windows 7.  Steps I do to attempt to build:

1. Open "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt"
2. configure.bat msvc9
3. cd ./src
4. nmake clean install

Below is the error message.  I do notice the configure script still says "build/lib" even in HEAD.

Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools.

Done configuring STLport.
Go to build/lib folder and type "nmake clean install" to build  and
install STLport to the "lib" and "bin" folders.
Go to build/test/unit folder and type nmake clean install to
build unit tests and install them in bin folder.

Thanks, what step am I missing?

Anybody, who want to see Windows support in the future, should contribute (platform-specific code) in the project. I will review patches, but will not code for Windows.

I have similar problems. BUT the strange thing is that the following "error"

\stlport\type_traits(62) : error C4980: '__value' : use of this keyword requires /clr:oldSyntax command line option

does not arise in some builds. Chec out my build log here:https://sourceforge.net/projects/stlport/forums/forum/490892/topic/3525691

I fixed the problem by renaming __value to __stlvalue since a grep did not reveal any other usage of __value anywhere else in the sources so i believe its ok. All other errors in the type_traits.cpp will automatically go away.

There are a lot more errors. I suggest you try:
nmake clean install > buildlog.txt

Thank you mickstl your info helped :)  As you already mentioned

1. Replacing "__value" with "__stlvalue" in all locations of "type_traits" fixed the errors above.
2. Commenting out the "template class _STLP_CLASS_DECLSPEC _LimG<bool>;" line in dll_main.cpp fixed the new errors that occurred.

And then the "nmake clean install" in src built correctly :)  Lets hope I can use the new lib files fine *crosses fingers*.

I have discovered some conflicts in some code. Eg: https://sourceforge.net/projects/stlport/forums/forum/490891/topic/3526792?message=8015464

Do i just commit? Are there any guidelines for submissions?
