CyberRogue

After fight­ing for a day with Boost, I’m pretty much going to give up. I’ve finally man­aged to build the libraries, but I needed to upgrade gcc (MinGW) to 4.4.0 (from Code­Blocks default of 3.4.5, which still works with it, fortunately).

When I import the string algo­rithms into my own code I get a whole slew of errors (over 50), and when I try the demo code I still get errors (OK, not so bad, just “expected con­struc­tor, destruc­tor, or type con­ver­sion before ‘(‘ token” on two lines, but it should still work “out of the box” right?) (OK, I’ve got dain bra­m­age… I made a proper pro­gram (no out­put) but I’ve got the “test” work­ing — now to get it work­ing in Cyber­Rogue)

Am I doing some­thing wrong, try­ing to use two con­flict­ing libraries (LibT­COD and Boost, but I didn’t think they’d con­flict?), or is MinGW just not up to the job and I should try Cyg­Win (will LibT­COD work with Cyg­Win?) Maybe I should just stick with what I’ve already got as it works (ain’t broke, don’t fix it approach).

Fixed: OK, maybe I should have just checked my defines — it’s work­ing, yay! Now I just need to use it.
