Straight out of CVS, my Compat/Compat.cpp couldn't find Compat.h. I made it so it could, but that didn't solve the problem, it still has unresolved symbols in the linking stage.

Specifically, CCompat::ImportXML and ExportXML.

This seems to be related to how things are set up to support different versions of the libraries (within Caravel), which I don't fully understand.

I think I might have a bad check-in there. Won't be able to mess with it until later. On the bright side, you don't need compat.cpp/h in your project, and the compat and drodlib15 projects don't need to be built.

I meant to keep track of how I did it but at this point I don't remember.

One thing that I do remember is that I had to tell the linker to ignore libc to avoid name conflicts.

I forgot to mention this before, except to Mike - What I did was remove the

#pragma comment(lib,"zlibstat.lib" )

in DbXML.cpp and add zlibstat.lib to the link options. It's weird, but that fixed the problem for me.

I must say, I always hated that particular #pragma. Being a Unix programmer first, doing it the other way probably just makes more sense to me.

Yeah, I did that too. I'm not a very pragmatic person either. (drum hit)

Congratulations to Bryan on getting the beast to build. It's not so easy, unfortunately. All those project dependencies are a bit hairy.
