YES - it is a bit of work, but I think that it should be done at somepoint The problem is all the #defines in ls_generic cause namespace clashes. M$oft is half to blame here in that they assume you are in a Windows enviroment and insist on bringing in almost the entire header tree when you might only need one structure. I believe the proper thing todo is eventually move LaRCSim into a C++ class and use namespaces. This however is a fair amount of work. BTW this all stems from the libstdc++ that ships with the gcc-3.X compilers which enables the WIN32 threading model. Currently this is still a beta release and trying to find a good solution to this namespace pollution is one of the things keeping gcc3.X beta for WIN32, so this problem may disappear on the MingW32 compiler but having all tose defines exposed is just 'begging for trouble'. I think we have just been lucky that we got away with them as long as we have. > > Also, does the Windows binary from www.flightgear.org support the > LaRCsim/UIUC stuff? Yes, I am sad to say :-( I will work on correcting this by reverting to the older 2.95 compiler when I get a chance < should be within the week > as I have discovered that I still need it for some other projects too.
