[antlr-interest] antlr on Microsoft Visual C++ 6 ...

[Mark Kattenbelt]

Hello,

I have got it to work with MSVC 8.0 (VS 2005), with some difficulties on
the way. It seems as though the c++ runtime of antlr is biased towards
GNU compilers. (As then it compiles without any problem).  If want GNU
compilers for windows have a look at cygwin and mingw/minsys. Antlr
works like a charm with with them. If you want an IDE, look at
code::blocks or dev-c++. I've compiled antlr with those IDE's
succesfully before.

Good luck,

Mark
