Hi!
Is BerkelyDB portable to Visual Studio 2005 (with a COM DLL)?
I have created a DLL in VS 2003 without any problems not I am getting
an oledb.h conflict in 2005.
I tried this workaround:
/* Work around DBTYPE name conflict with Berkeley DB */
#define DBTYPE MS_DBTYPE
#include <oledb.h>
#undef DBTYPE

....but it did not seem to work. Do you know where I would include this
workaround? Anyone else have this problem using Berkeley with a VS 2005
COM DLL?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

There is a FAQ about this issue here:

http://dev.sleepycat.com/resources/faq_show.html?id=127

Are you still having trouble after following the suggestions there?

Hi,
Yes, I get an error message saying something to the effect that
"windows.h" was already loaded. I tried to place in different locations
in stdafx.h but it did not seem to work. I did not use oledb.h in VS
2003 but Microsoft seems to include it in thier header files when you
upgrade to VS 2005.

I also tried creating a blank COM dll using the Microsoft defaults (in
VS 2005), when I include and reference Berkeley I get the same DBTYPE
error message. The COM dll I created has ATL support. This will
probably reference more Microsoft header files.

Thanks again!
