C++ and DCE IDL TYPNOLNKFUN error?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Upgrade from C++ 6.2 to 6.5 has broken DCE IDL compilation.
 
Example of error below.
 
There appears to be an incompatibility between the DCE supplied STUBBASE.H and
 C++ V6.5 that does not allow a clean build. Presumably this is a result of
 stricter type checking in 6.5?
 
Works:  C++ V6.2 / DCE V3.0
Broken: C++ V6.5 / DCE V3.0
 
Any suggestions? Compilation warnings, disabled or not, are not acceptable in
 our strictly controlled environment.
 
Thanks
 
Ian
