Does anyone know how to rid the latest HEAD source of the following problems in celengine/render.cpp and celengine/stardb.cpp compiles?

render.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\algorithm(583) : error C2784: 'bool __cdecl std::operator <(const class std::multimap<_K,_Ty,_Pr,_A> &,const class std::multimap<_K,_Ty,_Pr,_A> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const

and for stardb.cpp

I have the latest updates for VC 6.0++. Was wondering if anyone knew of a work around. I don't have the funds to move to the latest VC# compiler or such.

TIA,

What costs money is the GUI development environment. MS provides their current v7.x C++ compiler for free. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/.

Someone is working on providing a "cookbook" for using the free compiler to build Celestia, but apparently it isn't quite ready yet.

ok. I'll look into it. On another note, what version of the JPEG library is being used? There are versions around that use stdio stream method for reading a file and as such is incompatiable with the celestia calls. ie:

/* Define this if you want to name both input and output files on the command
* line, rather than using stdout and optionally stdin. You MUST do this if
* your system can't cope with binary I/O to stdin/stdout. See comments at
* head of cjpeg.c or djpeg.c.
*/
#define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE

TIA

You probably should download the libraries from Shatters.net instead of trying to build them yourself.
They're in http://www.shatters.net/celestia/files/winlibs-new.zip

ok. I have figured out the above issues. First time looking at anything makes one scratch his head some.

Now I have downloaded the freebie Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta and have just about gotten a complete build. I am still trying to resove these references. Can anyone tell me what lib/dll/whatever these are located?

Another question. My latest ATI driver update for my 9600xt is OpenGL version 1.5.4707. I was wondering if one can expect a 9600xt to eventually get OpenGL2.0 support? (Hoping I don't have to reinvest in another Nvidia card to get to 2.0.)
