Re: StringTokenizer class and MSVC/Win32 platform

[Pavel Tsekov]

OK, so I'll patch the header and try if everything is fine ... Btw what
are the preffered means to build CommonC++ on Win32 platform when using
MSVC ? I see there is a .dsp (project file) and also the configure
script says its trying to detect MSC... I built with the included .dsp
first but that doesnt help me to determine exactly which headers to use
in applications witch link against CommonC++ - there are .h files with
the same names both in common and win32 subdirs of the source tree.. I
tried to run the configure script under cygwin and hoped it will detect
the MSC but it didnt - I have all the needed environment variables which
refer to MSC set. Anyone who had experience please share you thoghts :)
