We do not have a precompiled version of the c++ library for windows, due 
to incompatabilities of the make files in the Windows envoronment. We 
are working on this, but our solution will use MS Visual C++ 6.0, and 
will likely not work using the Watcom compiler, which we do not have.

what are the error messages?

I would post this question to address@hidden to see if 
anyone has made this work with Watcom.
