[gecode-users] Which version of MSVC on Windows?

[Christian Schulte]

Hi,

Darn, I failed to see from your previous email that you had already tried
;-) I am very sorry for my ignorance!

I do not have a 2005 installation up. So there are different options here:
 - Stop claiming that Gecode works with MSVC 2005. How realistic is that,
anyone? I can't judge, really (my gut feeling being that a five year old
compiler is indeed old). BTW: We are way more aggressive in not supporting
older gcc versions.
 - We also test with MSVC 2005. This would be a massive investment for us
(already dealing with 2008 and 2010 is very painful), clearly slowing down
other Gecode activities.
 - Somebody keeps Gecode running on MSVC 2005 and sends us patches in case
of incompatibilities.
 - Anything else we could do?

Opinions, anyone?

Cheers and sorry again
Christian

I did try it, I configured MSVC 2005 the same as I configured MSVC 2008.
(i configured the include/lib folders) and in MSVC 2008 it works just fine,
while in MSVC 2005 i get errors when compiling the same code

maybe this helps indentify the problem:

c:\program files\gecode\include\gecode\driver\options.hpp(370) : error

        with
