[Opencxx-users] Problem compiling OpenC++ on Cygwin.

[Peter C. C. <pc...@so...>]

Hello!

I'm attempting to compile OpenC++ under Cygwin on my Windows XP machine. 
The compile is failing during the processing of driver.cc with the 
following message:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/bits/stl_algobase.h: In 
function `void std::swap(_Tp&, _Tp&) [with _Tp = 
std::auto_ptr<Opencxx::MetacompilerConfiguration::IteratorIface>]': 
../opencxx/MetacompilerConfiguration.h:50:   instantiated from here
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/bits/stl_algobase.h:132: 
error: passing `const 
std::auto_ptr<Opencxx::MetacompilerConfiguration::IteratorIface>' as 
`this' argument of `std::auto_ptr<_Tp>::operator 
std::auto_ptr_ref<_Tp1>() [with _Tp1 = 
Opencxx::MetacompilerConfiguration::IteratorIface, _Tp = Opencxx::Meta 
compilerConfiguration::IteratorIface]' discards qualifiers

It looks like I'm trying to convert a const auto_ptr to an auto_ptr_ref 
and gcc isn't going for it. I'm using v3.4.4 and I'm wondering if 
perhaps the code was originally written for an older version of the 
compiler. Would I be better advised to use the CVS version over the 
current official version? The message above came during an attempt to 
compile v2.8.

Thanks!

Peter
