RE: [OpenSTA-devel] Re: Platform SDK

[Wickersham, P. <Pet...@di...>]

Ok, I'm in the midst of building CVS HEAD with no STLPort, VC 6 SP6,
Platform SDK Feb 2003 edition, everything else standard.

I'm running into some compilation errors with some of the STL classes.
Do you have these resolved already? If so, I'll wait for any of your
checkins.

Congratulations!  I have a suspicion that not many people make it
this far ... it isn't an easy road :-(  The goal has to be to make
it easier.

This could actually be the right decision to make, and the
recommended build environment for the 1.4.4 release.  I think that is
the Platform SDK that Thierry was using to some success,  I chose to
go with the "latest" platform SDK simply due to the fact I knew it
was going to be easily attainable.  If the Feb 2003 Platform SDK is
going to be easily available in the long term and this is the last
PSDK that is recommended for VC6 then there is a strong argument that
it is the one we should be recommending for the 1.4 series - given
goood long term testing results.

When you previously said "the latest" STLPort I thought you were
going for STLPort 5.  The 5 release seems to be completely
unpublished on the stlport.org Web site - if you go to the STLPort
SourceForge project site you'll find that 5.0.1 was recently released
and is actually supposed to be the latest ... I haven't tried this
release though and all my recent testing suggests that OpenSTA really
has no need to use STLPort, at least for the windows only 1.4 series,
in fact using STLPort actually makes some parts of OpenSTA much
slower.

I'd really like to see you using the CVS HEAD and no STLPort ... ;-)

Now you mention it, that is just what I vaguely remember having to do
when I was still experimenting with the STLPort.

Yes, this DLL changed name as I remember.  Getting rid of it is the
way forward :-)
