   STL / slist / MSVC++ Toolkit problems!
  Can someone tell me where std::slist is? The header is not in my include folder. I've downloaded the latest versionof the STL which does include the slist header but for some reason it causes all sorts of compile errors when I configure the IDE (MSVC++ 6.0) to use it. To name a few:c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 6.0\vc98\include\xiosbase(106) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'precision'c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 6.0\vc98\include\xiosbase(106) : error C2501: 'streamsize' : missing storage-class or type specifiersc:\program files\microsoft visual studio 6.0\vc98\include\xiosbase(107) : warning C4183: 'precision': member function definition looks like a ctor, but name does not match enclosing class    I did manage to solve this by installing the Visual C++ Toolkit and configuring VC++ to use those compilation toolsbut this prevented the Debug tools from working properly. Well, as you can see there are a number of problems. Can anyone help?[edited by - Anima on June 5, 2004 12:57:19 PM][edited by - Anima on June 5, 2004 12:58:08 PM]
  slist isn''t part of the standard library and is provided as an extension in SGI''s STL (which is what STLPort is based on) ;  I did download the SGI STL library, but as I said it produced the errors above (when NOT using the MSVC++ toolkit). I suppose all this wouldn't be a problem if I managed to get that configured right - presuming it is possible to use this toolkit with MSVC++ 6.0 andstill retain the debugging tools. Just to be sure, can someone tell me how to properly configure this compiler for use with VC++ 6.0? Currently I'm just adding the updated include/lib/executables folders to the top of their respective lists in the options dialog (directories tab). Is this right?

Don''t copy it on top of MSVC. ;  Thanks, I''ve downloaded STLport and it works perfectly.
