Platforms

Special care was taken to make GENIAL portable across platforms.
GENIAL is not portable with Microsoft Visual C++ 6, neither with the Visual Studio 2003 Compiler.
Here a non exhaustive list of compilers those succeed in compiling GENIAL:
Intel Compiler (ICL)
Intel C++ is the highly recommended compiler, and the one with which the library was mostly tested.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 - 2008 (VC8 / VC9). The latest service pack of Visual Studio 2003 (VC7.1) might succeed.
