Hello, While attempting to build PPL on Solaris 10 with gcc-4.6.1, I encountered a problem. The first error looks like this:
Actually there is like a million other errors in there (those about limits are particularly noticable), I would say the gcc installation is broken. Maybe the new installation got mixed up with an old one? One way to check, compile a file containing #include <limits> with g++ -E file.cc and check the list of files that are read (c++config.h in particular).
/opt/csw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/4.6.1/../../../../include/c++/4.6.1/cwchar:214:35: error: 'wchar_t* std::wcschr(wchar_t*, wchar_t)' conflicts with previous using declaration 'wchar_t* wcschr(wchar_t*, wchar_t)' From the following errors, it looks like there's a disagreement between these two header files: /usr/include/iso/wchar_iso.h /opt/csw/include/c++/4.6.1/cwchar The Solaris header says: #if __cplusplus >= 199711L (...) #else /* __cplusplus >= 199711L */ extern wchar_t *wcschr(const wchar_t *, wchar_t); (...) #endif /* __cplusplus >= 199711L */ while the GCC header: #ifndef __CORRECT_ISO_CPP_WCHAR_H_PROTO inline wchar_t* wcschr(wchar_t* __p, wchar_t __c) { return wcschr(const_cast<const wchar_t*>(__p), __c); } (...) #endif
That's called overloading, and it isn't what g++ is complaining about.
Do you have any advice?
When you install gcc, keep it simple, don't specify much more than --prefix.
