Digital Mars - c++ - Can't find non-.h headers...

I'm trying to compile a program using boost mpl, but all the files in boost call
for non-.h versions of these files, and I'd like not to have to change the boost
libraries, if possible. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Now I have a different problem: Here's my include path, BTW,

Here's my include list:

#include <iostream>
#include "state_machine.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/list.hpp"
#include "rec_frm.h"

Before,  I had <iostream> at the bottom of the list, and was getting an '"std"
must be a class' type error. That problem went away when I moved iostream to the
top. Now I get the following errors:

I grabbed paht_check, but can't find documentation on how to use it. Tried many
variations of --help, but all it does is flash on the screen...

I don't know what you mean by path_check, but nvx is a command-line tool.
Just type nvx at the command-prompt, and it tells you what all the options
are, as in:



  Synesis Software Environment Variable Expander v1.2.4.0013

  USAGE: nvx [-b] [-v] [-x] [-X] [-c] [-i] [-l] [-p] [<env-var1> <env-var2>
... <env-varN>  ]
    where:

    -b           -   copies all output to the clipboard
    -v           -   verbose output
    -x           -   marks items that do not exist
    -X           -   shows only items that do not exist
    -c           -   expands the CLASSPATH environment variable
    -i           -   expands the INCLUDE environment variable
    -l           -   expands the LIB environment variable
    -p           -   expands the PATH environment variable (the default)
    <env-var...> -   expands the named environment variable(s)

Sorry, I get it. (Slow moment  ;)

pathchk is a command-line application, and it prints out any members of your
path that do not exist. On my system running it gives:

"
F:\Documents and Settings\Matty>pathchk -?
  Synesis Software Path Validity Checker v1.0.1.0002

  USAGE: pathchk


F:\Documents and Settings\Matty>pathchk
"

since I've previously fixed up the bad path components. If I then add one,
e.g. "X:\WIBBLE", it then prints out as follows:


F:\Documents and Settings\Matty>set PATH=%PATH%;X:\wibble

F:\Documents and Settings\Matty>pathchk
"X:\wibble" does not exist

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks. What helped most, once I figured it out, was to start command.com first
and run those tools in it.  I was double-clicking on the tools, or sending them
to the command line and adding parameters, and a dos box would just flash on the
screen for like 10 milliseconds at most.. :)

Eventually I plan to have them work equally well on the command-prompt and
as GUI programs, but I've just not got around to it yet.

Glad they can be of some help as is.

Actually, in the case of -help or --help or incorrect parameters, a cin line
that waits for the user to press a key, to prevent the thing from closing the
window, would make it friendlier to basket case dummies like myself ;)

And here's a request: A little program that takes a filename as a param and
substitutes all newlines by newline/CR pairs, to make posix text read ok in
notepad... And maybe a de-tab option; and maybe a 'eat blank space at end of
lines' option;  and maybe an 'ensure newline at end of file' option.

Cheers!

Not sure about that one, although I can see the need.

I've got the reverse of one of those, stripcr. I'll have to have a dig
around, but it wouldn't be too hard to make it available, and also to have
it do the reverse behaviour that you need

 And maybe a de-tab option; and maybe a 'eat blank space at end of
 lines' option;  and maybe an 'ensure newline at end of file' option.


I've got Perl scripts that do most of those things
(http://synsoft.org/perl.html). I use the tabify.pl and untabify.pl on a
daily basis. :)

But it would be nice to have them as exes.

If I wasn't so damn busy I'd crank these out for you asap. Alas, we might
have to wait for the book submission deadline. (beginning of Feb)

Did you register on the System Tools mailing list, so if I do get a chance
you would be notified?

Cheers

Thanks!
I also introduced all the diffs into boost for DMC compatibility, from
http://cmeerw.org/files/dm/boost-1.30.0-dm.diff
and there seems to be progress.

I got a new problem now, but it might be a bug in boost...

sc rec_frm.cpp -cpp -Ae -Aa -r -mn -C -WA -S -3 -a8 -c -gf
-IG:\dm\stlport\stlport -IG:\dm\include -IG:\boost-1.30.2
-IG:\boost-1.30.2\boost\mpl -IG:\boost-1.30.2\libs\mpl\example\fsm -orec_frm.obj

Error: G:\boost-1.30.2\boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed/plain /quote.hpp(7): no type
for argument 'T'
Error: G:\boost-1.30.2\boost/mpl/aux_/has_type.hpp(23): no type for argument 'T'
Fatal Error: G:\boost-1.30.2\boost/mpl/list.hpp(36): unable to open input file
'boost/mpl/list/list10 .hpp'
Lines Processed: 30442  Errors: 3  Warnings: 0
Build failed

With the last problem, the file list10.hpp exists, it's there. Now, the file
list.hpp tries to include that file via a macro:
#   include BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(boost/mpl/list/MPL_AUX_LIST_HEADER)

The macro is defined in boost/preprocessor/stringize.hpp as...
# if ~BOOST_PP_CONFIG_FLAGS() & BOOST_PP_CONFIG_MWCC()
#    define BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(text) BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE_I(text)
# else
#    define BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(text) BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE_OO((text))
#    define BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE_OO(par) BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE_I ## par
# endif
# define BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE_I(text) #text

I'm really not sure how a call to stringize_i macro without argument works, but
it looks suspicious to me... I'll keep researching.
Thanks
