What were you trying to do?
build an application called "surf" using /usr/athena/bin/g++ on a Sun
What's wrong:
The build gets partway done, then errors out with an error seemingly
due to an include file it can't find:
In file included from Script.cc:39:
../misc/Misc.h:29:23: strstream.h: No such file or directory
What should have happened:
The obvious... it should have built surf
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I think something may be misconfigured in the way /usr/athena/bin/g++
works its way through nested include files. When I repeated the build using
/mit/gcc-3.2/arch/sun4x_59/bin/g++, it works fine- no problem.
It's possible that the problem is due to the code I'm compiling not being
compatible with /usr/athena/bin/g++ (3.3.2), but I wouldn't expect that
code that builds on 3.2.1 would break on 3.3.2; of course I may be wrong,
and in that case disregard this bug report...
If anyone want to look at this, the source is in
/mit/alexp/Public/surf-1.0.4.tar.gz; I used the following to build:
setenv CPPFLAGS -I/usr/athena/include
setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/athena/lib
setenv CC gcc
setenv CXX g++
configure --prefix=/var/tmp/...
gmake
