[Monotone-devel] Build errors with VC8

[Anthony Williams]

Hi,

I just sync-ed with venge.net following the instructions at
http://www.venge.net/mtn-wiki/SelfHostingInfo and tried to build the
net.venge.monotone branch with VC8.

Firstly, is this the correct branch to be building for trying out the
up-coming 0.36 release?

Unfortunately I got quite a few errors, mainly on the uses of join_words, such
as this:

c:\documents and settings\anthony williams\monotone-build\monotone.cc(288) : 
error C2784: 'T2 join_words(const T1<T2> &,const std::string &)' : could not 
deduce template argument for 'const T1<T2> &' from 'std::vector<_Ty>'
1>        with
1>        [
1>            _Ty=utf8
1>        ]
1>        c:\documents and settings\anthony 
williams\monotone-build\simplestring_xform.hh(48) : see declaration of 
'join_words'

This is unsurprising, given that std::vector has two template parameters, so
shouldn't ever match the T1<T2> parameter.

There were other errors, and I have fixes for all of them. What's the process
for submitting the patches?

Anthony
