I have a third party DLL (lib, includes, dll, no source) that references
CString in both return codes and function arguments. At link time, I receive
errors because the declaration of CString has changed.
There is no way I can change the DLL, so my only idea is that I need to
create a temporary VC++ 6.0 CString. My error lists the VC++ 2008 CString
definition (since it isn't found in the DLL) but I can't think of a way to
get the VC++ 6.0 revision of CString.
For example, from the include, I have:
CString GetLastError();
Which is causing a link error:
App_FSI_Comm.obj : error LNK2028: unresolved token (0A000901) "public: class
ATL::CStringT<char,class StrTraitMFC_DLL<char,class ATL::ChTraitsCRT<char> >
__thiscall CSabreComm::GetLastError(void)"
(?GetLastError@CSabreComm@@$$FQAE?AV?$CStringT@DV?$StrTraitMFC_DLL@DV?$ChTraitsCRT@D@ATL@@@@@ATL@@XZ)
referenced in function __catch$?UpdateFlightList@CApp_FSI_Comm@@$$FIAE_N_N@Z$0
I found:

but short of making another DLL (which I'm not sure would function since
I'll still have the link errors), the solutions didn't work.
Any ideas greatly appreciated. Intuiting the VC++ 6.0 CString would
probably be the best.
1. You have source code
2. The DLL is a COM DLL, or is otherwise carefully designed to use a
As it is, you will either have to stick with VC6 for your whole application, or
