Hey all,
I'm new to the psp development scene and am having some trouble using the C++ standard library files (like "string" and "math" etc).
Basically, I have set up MinPSPW to work with VC++ 2008 and I can compile the samples no worries, but on trying to include any files not part of the psp library (and things like "stdlib.h"), I get hundreds of errors.
My makefile has
INCDIR = C:/pspsdk/psp/include/c++/4.3.2/
and without it the compiler won't find the files, but like I said I get hundreds of errors, most looking like this:
1>C:/pspsdk/psp/include/c++/4.3.2/bits/basic_string.h(836) : error: expected declaration specifiers before 'template'
but there are some variations.
I'm assuming I have something setup incorrectly or it's because I'm not using cygwin and all that to do it (honestly, I've tried that before but being able to use VC++ and build from it is much more appealing).

If anybody can give some suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Can you post your code to your program and makefile? Sometimes, its the makefile that causes the problem.

[yotryu]

Yeah no worries.
Here's the makefile:

First, remove line "PSP_MAIN_THREAD", because you have it user mode already. Maybe it will lower the errors. Ill see whats the problem, maybe its the line in the makefile that lead to the ../psp/include/c++ , dont exist. Ill see what I can do for you soon

Ok turns out one big problem was that I missed one of the first errors... it was a missing file.
So now I'm left with 38 errors (from including <string>), all of which are:
1. error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'std' OR
2. error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '__gnu_cxx' OR
3. error: expected identifier or '(' before string constant
I thought this might mean errors in the code but I really don't know. The errors are located when this is encountered (errors 1 and 2):
_GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE(X)

where:
# define _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE(X) namespace X _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY_ATTR(default) {

and a couple for this too (error 3):
extern "C++" {

I've not had experience with gcc errors before so I'm really not sure what I'm looking for and I can't find anything to help on these.
Thanks again for any help anyone can give :)

the extension of a c++ source file must be .cpp

[yotryu]

Wow. I can't believe I let that slip past me...
I guess that's one thing that can happen if you're using other files instead of creating your own. Teach me to try out samples :P
Thanks very much for the basic advice jojojoris. I'll admit at first I thought it was a rather pointless comment...
Again thanks for the help guys :)

[a_noob]

it can be .cpp .C .cc or .c++ all are valid C++ files

it shouldn't, the GCC is supposed to interpret .C as C++ files thus compiling with with g++

yeah, windows fs is not case sensitive, so file.C is the same as file.c on w32
