#7 Surf compilation fails on strstream.h

[Anthony Staines]

Situation
emerging surf 1.04 on Gentoo kernel 2.6.5 with gcc
version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6,
ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)

Compilation fails with the following error message :-

etc....

Expected behaviour
Successful compliation

Hypothesis
--
strstream.h is deprecated and should be replaced by sstream
but as I know nothing about C++ don't take my word for
it...
--
File : Misc.h
--
#ifndef MISC_H
#define MISC_H

#include <strstream.h>

class Misc
{
public:
static bool haveGUI ();
static void alert (const char *);
static void alert (ostrstream &ostr);
static void setDoing (const char *str, double
val=-1.0);
static void setDone (double done);

};

#endif
