Works well with VS2005, but NOT with VC6

[Anthony Liu]

I have successfully complied taglib with VS2005, but when I tried to compile it with VC6, I got thousands errors.

 

First, VC6 does not accept long long ( error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal), it should be replaced with __int64.

It seems that VC6 also has problems with the class templates.

 

Can anyone help me to figure it out? Thanks!

Visual Studio 6 doesn't support partial template specialization, so it
won't work with TagLib, and honestly, VS 6 was released more than 10
years ago and has been outdated for more than 6 years, so I don't really
care about supporting it.
