Compiling in MSVC7

[Riaan]

I am compiling my app (including CODEBASE database headers) but as soon as i
compile it gives me the following errors :

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\UTILITY(81) : warning
C4346: '_It::iterator_category' : dependent name is not a type
prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\UTILITY(84) : see
reference to class template instantiation 'std::iterator_traits<_It>' being
compiled
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\UTILITY(81) : error
C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'iterator_category'
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\UTILITY(81) : error
C2501: 'std::iterator_traits<_It>::iterator_category' : missing
storage-class or type specifiers
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\UTILITY(82) : warning
C4346: '_It::value_type' : dependent name is not a type
prefix with 'typename' to indicate a type
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\UTILITY(82) : error
C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'value_type'


Is there a flag or something I must set, or why is it complaining about this
headers ?

Looks to me like you're using the V7 compiler with V6 headers.
Not a good idea. See:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat

for proper settings.
