Re: Error while including header file

What does USE_IOSTREAM stand for? It is used in file
sscli\rotorenv\bin\makefile.def. Is it going to link to appropriate .lib?
If so, where (and how) should USE_IOSTREAM be defined (it gets concated to
LINK_LIB, which is used in  win32\sources file)

I included my definitions in rotorpal.h and linked with msvcrt.dll, but
still I see same errors
