Hello René,

I 've read F. X. Gentit page, (which will be very helpfull for me when I
will reach the point of 
generating a dictionnary ...)

concerning TString.exe, I ported it into Visual and obtained compilation
options close to the one you've said :

--------------------Configuration: tstring - Win32
Release--------------------

tstring.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

RMQ:
- I removed libNew.lib (.exp, ..) from the $(ROOTSYS)/lib directory
- I have the libraries "msfrt40.dll msvcr70.dll msvcp70.dll msvci70.dll
dformd.dll" present in a directory pointed to by my (user) path environement
variable
(I am confident this is OK, since before doing this visual was complaining
about those libraries missing when I was trying to launch root-linked
executables ..)

but it still crashes ...

when compiled in the debug configuration, it crashes when reaches the first
cout << ; instance

I will investigate compilation through cygwin...

regards,

eric


PS : VISUAL configuration :

MENU C++ :

General :
-Warning : ROOT recommends 1  ( > 1 possible)
-optimization : ROOT recommends "maximize speed" (-O2) , "disable" works
(-Od ) for Debug

C++ language :
-Pointer representation method : best case always
-ON : Enable exception handling (-GX ), Enable Run-Time type Info (-GR)
-OFF : others (Disable construct displacement)

Code generation :
- calling convention : __cdecl  ( no option )
- processor : pentiun ( -G5 )
- Run time library : Root recommends "Multithread DLL" ( option -MD ),
"DEbug Multithread DLL" works ( -MDd ) for debug

Customize :
-ON : "suppress start up banner" : ( option -nologo ) : HOWEVER usefull to
remove it in order to see compilation comands !
-OFF : all others

Listing file :
Not relevent

OPtimization :
Root recomends :
-Maximize speed (-O2) + Inline function expansion = only __inline (no
option)
Also possible : disable for debug  (-Od) + inline function expansion disable
(no option)

Precompiled Headers:
No influence on compilation seen so far...
