Question

I downloaded the latest hashlib++ 0.32 version and tried to use hash functions but it says Unsupported compiler.

[BCC32 Fatal Error] hl_types.h(71): F1003 Error directive: "Unsuppported compiler."                "Please use GCC,MINGW,MSVC "            " or define hl_uint64 for your compiler in hl_types.h line 62"

The hl_types.h looks

I am asking is there any way to make it work in Borland C++ builder 2010 (BCC32) compiler?

Answer 1

I think the error message pretty much says what to do… add the following to the header file below the _MSC_VER check and above the final #else:

#elif defined( __BORLANDC__ )
typedef unsigned __int64 hl_uint64;

(Builder has an “__int64” extended integer type)
