Linux Compile Error

[John Fierke]

running make produced the following error.

$ gcc -Ilib -Iexternals/simplecpp -Iexternals/tinyxml   -include lib/cxx11emu.h -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -Wabi -Wcast-qual -Wfloat-equal -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-long-long -Wpacked -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-multichar -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG -g -std=c++0x  -c -o lib/analyzerinfo.o lib/analyzerinfo.cpp

lib/utils.h:63: error: 'const struct std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >' has no member named 'back'

Any suggestions?

Admittedly, our system is not running all the newest :

gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18) (GCC)

Is there a workaround? Do I need updated libraries? Updated compiler?

From https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/master/readme.md :
g++ 4.6 (or later)
So i would suggest updating gcc/g++ if possible.
Have you tried g++ instead of gcc? I guess it will not work with g++4.4.7 too, but there some (rather small) differences.

I don't guarantee that it works.. but I use this script to compile the democlient:

echo Get cppcheck
wget https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/archive/$1.tar.gz
rm -rf cppcheck-$1
tar xzvf $1.tar.gz
rm $1.tar.gz

echo Tweak code
cd cppcheck-$1

The democlient is compiled with the same gcc version that you tried.
