[Quickfix-developers] Linux Compile Problems - QF1.8.0

[James W. <wi...@wi...>]

 Hello,

   I am attempting to build QuickFIX 1.8.0 on a Linux box, Debian
Stable, fully up-to-date.  I have installed the latest stable version
of STLPort.  I get compiler errors when compiling with either gcc 2.95
or gcc 3.04, the only two stock compilers available for Debian stable.
I am willing to upgrade the machine to Debian Sarge, which will be the
new stable within a few months, but do *not* want to go down that road
if it won't solve the problem.  I am testing a build on one of our
workstations, which run Debian unstable (i.e. SID).  The compile has
not completed yet, but if it does, I'll at least know that gcc 3.3.4
will work.

   So, the question: what versions of GCC have been used successfully
to build 1.8.0 on a Linux machine?  The errors I've been getting are
actual internal compiler errors, complete with a request to send a bug
report to GNU, not library or linking errors.  Neither are they out of
memory errors; there's plenty of RAM on the box.

thanks,
Jim Wiggs
