hiya all,

i have downloaded miracl and started playing with it, but i cannot seem to make a working compilation.
i followed the notes in msvisual.txt , i even created a new .lib and this is what i get :
.......\MIRACL\include\big.h(65) : error C2874: using-declaration causes a multiple declaration of 'istream'
...program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\iosfwd(256) : see declaration of 'istream'

any help you be appreciated.

project settings
link
ignore libraries:
--the lib wich causes a multiple declaration of...--
(in my case LIBC.lib)
had to include USER32.lib in object/library modules.
hope this helps.
Regards,

i tried, & tried, & tried, & failed.
i am using vc++ 6, project/settings/link/Category=input ( !? ) and then ignore libs ?

Try example in map 'curve'.
sea.txt
win32 console application.
add files to project:big.cpp/big.h/mueller.cpp/ps_big.cpp/ps_big.h/ms32.lib
additional include directories: path to miracl\include\
(previous post was for a win32 appl.)

Regards,

The following works without any problems for me on VC6. However
if your using *.cpp and not *.c then I believe setup is different.

1, Tools->Options->Directories - set the correct paths
i.e. c:\Program Files\VC6\miracl\include
c:\Program Files\VC6\miracl\lib
c:\Program Files\VC6\miracl\source

2, For each project that uses miracl,
Project->Settings->Link Object/library modules
add 'miracl.lib', or whatever your compilled miracl.lib is called.
That must be done for each configuration used (Debug/Release);

3, In *.c or *.h etc #include <miracl.h>

arz...

yeap.
that helped.
got it working now.
thanks guys.
