Hi,
I am using Boost for the first time and now i am stuck when i try to compile code in Linux. We have Linux RHEL 7.2 and g++ 2.96. I managed to execute the sample code Simple_ls in Windows VC++ 6, but when I try to compile the same code in Linux it gives me many errors. I am using follow command to compile my linux code. g++ -c -I /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/ -L /usr/local/lib Simple_ls.cpp I have attached a file which contains the error i am getting. I have never worked on Linux earlier, so i think most probably I am missing out on making some setting in Linux environment or macros If somebody can help me, I would be very grateful. :-)
You're missing a C++ compiler. So called gcc "2.96" is not an official gcc release. It has been created by a Linux distributor by adding tons of patches to gcc 2.95.x. Those patches made gcc "2.96" even worse than gcc 2.95 was. gcc 2.95 and "2.96" are pre-standard compilers and way outdated. Please consider getting a more recent compiler. This will likely solve your current problem and it will definitely avoid a lot of other problems you will run into by using gcc "2.96". I suggest you try gcc 3.4.6 or gcc 4.1.1. Beware, though, that if you're planning to link against prebuilt C++ libraries of your Linux distribution then you have to stick to the compiler used by the distribution (that limit does not exist for C libraries used by your application). In that case, you probably should upgrade your system generally in order to get rid of the legacy stuff. HTH, m Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
