Problem 2, compiling fltk gui library
These functions seems to be the same for the compiler.
They compile with gcc and msvc. I removed all "dublicates" and it
works ok with dm but...

FL_EXPORT int fl_draw_pixmap(/*const*/ char* const* data, int x,int 
y,Fl_Color=FL_GRAY);
FL_EXPORT int fl_draw_pixmap(const char* const* data, int x,int 
y,Fl_Color=FL_GRAY);



Problem 3, berkeley db library
The compiler failes with log\log_archive.c and a call to getcwd 
function.
It never stops compiling until it runs out of memory.
The library does have an config.h for different kind of settings but
it doesn't do me any wiser.

I'm using xp by the way.

This means the length of an identifier exceeds the limit of the .obj file
format.

This has been reported, but I haven't fixed it yet.

If you could isolate it down to the smallest reproducible test case, and
email it to me, I can likely get it fixed. -Walter

It looks like that these three typedefs that have been commented out
is the source of the problem. Is there anything I can do about it ?

typedef vector<string>                      StringVect;
typedef vector<string>                      StringVect;
typedef vector<string>::iterator            StringVectIt;
typedef vector<string>::reverse_iterator    StringVectRIt;
typedef vector<double>                      DoubleVect;
typedef vector<double>::iterator            DoubleVectIt;
typedef map<string,double>                  DoubleMap;
//typedef map<string,double>::iterator        DoubleMapIt;
typedef map<string,int>                     IntMap;

The source is to big to create a test case, but I solved it quick and
dirty by taking getcwd source from the library source and rename the
function and pasted it into the file that was giving me the problem.

You mean uncommenting them produces the problem? It doesn't look like "map"
can be reduced in length very effectively. Sigh.

Ok, but I can't solve the problem in the compiler that way <g>.

After more testing it looks like using stl gives unpredictable result. 
I really can't say exact what with stl that creates the problem.
In one case I had several overloads of operators and when I added
the ">" operator in a class the ide crached during compiling.
Then I found that I had included stl and had a few test lines with 
stl in another file and when I removed those lines it worked.
I can't reproduce a good test case, sorry about that.

I did some more checking. This is a fault of the Microsoft OMF library file
format. It does not allow identifiers exceeding 512 or so in length. The
only solution is to shorten the identifiers or link in those .obj files
separately.

It shouldn't work :-( the dictionary in it might be corrupt.
