[Quickfix-developers] compiling for ISO C++ standard causes errors

[Cicero, M. <mc...@va...>]

My programs are compiled with gcc v3.0.4 using the flag "-pedantic" to
ensure strict ISO C++ adherence.  I noticed that it was erroring out when
linking in the quickfix library so I put in the following updates to
quickfix:
 
 
> diff configure configure.orig
1394c1394
< CXXFLAGS="-Wall -fexceptions -pedantic -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500"
---

Maybe you could add it to the sources.
 
 
I also had to do a little trick to get it compile with gcc v3.0.4.  gcc
v2.95.3 is in /usr/bin and v3.0.4 is in /usr/local/bin.  I first had to
remove /usr/local/bin from my path, do "configure" and "make" until make
breaks, do "cp `which libtool` ./", then add back /usr/local/bin in order to
compile.  If not, I'd get this error:
 
quickfix> make
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --foreign Makefile
cd . && autoconf

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
 
 
Finally, the Unit Tests works, but the Acceptance Tests won't load:
 
> setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib

Any ideas?  I'm running SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional on a PIII, 500MHz, 512MB
RAM and will try Solaris 8 Sparc later.  FWIW, I also going to link in
log4cpp.
 
Thanks,
