Re: [Quickfix-developers] Build Quickfix with Sun SPRO compiler 6.2 or 8.0

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

I applied the patch.  I did make a coupld of changes.

You made a change directly referencing std::labs.  We need to be 
careful of these since some STL implementation do not define it in the 
std namespace (MSV6 for instance).  Instead I set it back to just labs 
and included Utility.h at the top of the file.  This will add a using 
std::labs for systems where it is in the std namespace.  This way 
everywhere we can refer to it as just labs.

Instead of commenting out the SessionIDTestCase in TestSuite.h, I 
surrounded those lines with a #if !defined(__SUNPRO_CC), and left a 
note for someone to take a look at it.

As for the AR_FLAGS, I would expect that autoconf would be doing that 
work in the AC_PROG_CXX macro.  What version are you using?  Maybe a 
newer version will handle this.  Can you put together a little blurb 
about what you did to get these setting in so I can add it to the 
documentation?
