3536.0. "YACL ported to Digital Unix/DEC C++??" by HYDRA::DONSBACH (Jeff Donsbach, Software Partner Engineering, DTN 297-6862) Thu Apr 10 1997 18:38

    
    Has anyone ported YACL to Digital Unix? I'm working with a partner
    the builds an executable product that uses YACL. Their product also
    contains a development environment that their customers can use to
    build there own customized versions of the product.
    
    The latest version of the product has not been released on Digital Unix
    because when they try and test the development environment and build
    a customized version, they get problems from templates defined in YACL.
    Specifically, it can't find the template definition file.
    
    It's a rather complex issue to explain in notes. They are using
    automatic template instantiation and the development environment
    is using multiple repositories. For some reason, it is trying to
    recreate the template instantiation source file in the first
    writeable repository. But, everything for the template already is in
    the second repository. As far as we can tell, there really is no reason
    it needs to be recreated. But, the compiler thinks differently.
    
    So, to start, I though I would see if anyone had ported YACL on their
    own, possibly using manual instantiation so that all the template
    instantiations would already be contained in the YACL library.
    
    anyone?
    
    Thanks,

See http://www.cs.sc.edu/~sridhar/yacl.html

The officially supported platforms include Microsoft, Sun and other UNIX
platforms using GNU C++. I'm sure the author would be interested in any
porting tips, though...

    I know about the Web site. Just wanted to see if anyone had done it
    already before I attempt it myself.
