Cannot compile with STLport

[Zeroth]

I'm including every library but it's still complaining about a missing stlp_std::cout

I'm including every library but

The probability that 1000 monkeys with typewriters will write "War and Peace" isn't zero.

make && (cd build/test/unit && make)

Don't be ashamed of read compilation/link strings: they printed as is.

[Zeroth]

I'm not sure what your last sentence means.

And I'm sorry but I can't figure out how to paste code here...

But I got this:

Pasting code or git messages without any explanation for what it means is not helping me. Are you suggesting that I pull from git instead of using the latest package in the download section?

I'm sure you're a wonderful programmer, but your people skills could use a little work ;)

[Petr Ovtchenkov]

Pasting code or git messages without any explanation...

"Use git's HEAD of STLport-5.2 branch, the problem you mentioned, was resolved 2.5 years ago"; if this isn't evident, then you not a programmer; if you not a programmer, why you has interest to "system" library? Make sense?

[Zeroth]

I'm using 5.2.1 downloaded straight from the downloads section. If this was indeed fixed over two years ago, then I think you guys might wanna take a look at what you're packaging up there.

There's no need to be arrogant.

For the record, I'm new to git. I'm a long-time subversion user.

I did a git clone -b STLport-5.1 git://git.code.sf.net/p/stlport/code stlport-code

Update: compiled and did make install and all that, it installed stl_unit_test though, which I ran... and it segfaults. Presumably some unit test is failing (I've omitted the successful tests at the beginning):

FstreamTest::input

Segmentation fault

I'm using 5.2.1 downloaded straight from the downloads section ...

No more tarballs will be ship out. Use code from git.

By the way, git head doesn't even compile.

Public repos has at least 4 heads. What you mean?

[Zeroth]

I was mistaken, I was using the wrong branch.

I am currently using the correct STLport-5.2 branch, but I am having the same issue as before. It complains about a missing stlp_std::cout.

Also, stl_unit_test segfaults.

[Darko Miletic]

It appears to be something with your distribution. I just tried following on Centos 5.5 32bit:

    git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/stlport/code stlport-code
    cd stlport-code
    git checkout -b STLport-5.2 origin/STLport-5.2
    ./configure
    make && (cd build/test/unit && make)

And no problems whatsoever. So in order to get some help you should provide:
Distribution you use (exact version number)
gcc version

etc.

Also if it turns out your distribution is not supported (being too recent) do you really need stlport? What is wrong with libstdc++?

[Zeroth]

I'm on Linux Mint 16 Petra, i686 single-core

It's a sort of old machine but the distro is fairly recent.

I'm mostly interested in STLport's debug features that I've read about. (Also, isn't the purpose of STLport to be more portable than libraries such as libstdc++?)

[Darko Miletic]

This is open source project. People dedicate their time to it as they see fit. There are no guarantees of any kind. Portability is an ideal that needs to be maintained. So if making this work on your distribution is important to you - you should analyze the issue and provide the fix. Nobody else will care - to be blunt.
