HELP: Compilation under Linux

[Andargor]

Ok, I am not heeding the dire warning about using the latest version of g++.

I'm getting this error using egcs-2.91.66:

g++ -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2  -I./src  -c -o src/XmlRpcValue.o src/XmlRpcValue.cpp
In file included from src/XmlRpcValue.cpp:5:
src/base64.h:41: parse error before `<'
src/base64.h:47: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
make: *** [src/XmlRpcValue.o] Error 1

Any help?

The README states, "You do need a fairly recent compiler (g++ 3.1 ...)" I tried 2.95.3 with no luck; 3.1 and 3.2.2 work fine.

Hope this helps!  --PSRC

I have also the problem to get it running under gcc 2.95, because this is what you need to build Qtopia based device (embedded linux, for example sharp zaurus)
I think it should be possible to let it run under 2.95, the compiler is not so bad.
But have not succeed yet. At least I was able to compile my own file by changing XmlRpcValue.h like this:
//    XmlRpcValue const& operator[](int i) const { assertArray(i+1); return _value.asArray->at(i); }

    XmlRpcValue const& operator[](int i) const
            { assertArray(i+1); return (*(_value.asArray))[i]; }

because there is an older STL which seem not to have the vector::at() method.

So, yeah, I know. Unfortunately, I have an RH 6.2 box with other stuff on it and can't upgrade easily.

So, if anyone knows a workaround for what is obviously a nested template problem, I'd be glad to hear it.
