Hallo,
I just finished a sax-parser with xerces, this should now generate geometry using OpenCascade.
When Including the first OpenCascade Header file I get the warning about WNT and added
/D WNT to the compiler options. But then I get a bunch of errors like those below.
How could I use xerces and OpenCascade within the same project ?
Thanks, Carsten

I encountered the same thing when trying to integrate some OpenCASCADE code into our current VC++ 6.0 project. In my case it occurred because the old code used old style headers (#include ) while OpenCASCADE uses the new style (#include ). Apparently the two cannot coexist. Changing all our old code to use the new headers was too large an undertaking so I ended up putting the OpenCASCADE based code in a DLL. Check your Xerces build and make sure it uses the new style headers.
Hope that helps,
Chris

The header conflict is a problem. However, you can force OCC to reference the old headers on WNT systems by defining USE_OLD_STREAMS your project settings. For verification, you can look at Standard_Stream.hxx in the OCC install.

Thanks for the tip. I can now link OpenCASCADE directly into my application!!

Hello,
thanks for all answers. After some search I found that the log4cxx header files
contains the following typedefs
typedef std::basic_string String;
typedef std::basic_ostream ostream;
typedef std::basic_istream istream;
They conflict then with the ostream and istream used by opencascade.
