[glean-dev] tbasic.h, tbase.h, and MS VC++

[Jeffrey M. <Jef...@3D...>]

   Allen and Co.

   As recently as, 12/22/2000 I pulled down the
   glean source tree and tried to compile the
   source under MS Visual C++ 6.0.  I soon found
   out that some changes had been made to the
   BasicTest class.  The Visual C++ 6.0 compiler
   seems to be rather rigorous about template
   class definitions because when it tried to
   compile a file that included tbasic.h, several
   compiler errors began to appear.

   Please understand that I am not an Object Oriented
   C++ expert.  In fact, I'm a beginner at best, and
   I find the complexity and abstractness of the glean
   source code to boarder on Object Oriented black
   magic.

   Could one of you C++ gurus take a look at what
   has changed in recent months and see if you can
   determine what needs to happen to make MS Visual
   C++ compile the glean source.

   regards, Jeff

   PS.

   I can forward the errors that the compiler is
   reporting, but I'm not sure that would be of
   much help if you are using an alternate compiler.
