I'm not suprised ;) You are trying to make a DLL or static build?

If you are willing to spend some time on the VC6 stuff could you work of a
recent snapshot? Available at 

http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~klaren/antlr/

That one is reported to work with VC7, VC7 patches broke VC6 though.

Still need to make a solution for the various MSVC's. Probably need some
macro to specify the required template stuff for the various versions and
control that from config.hpp.

Those were needed by VC6 on a previous SP. I myself don't have easy VC6
access and I don't know the compiler to well, so any help is appreciated. 

Cheers,
