[ZooLib-dev] Linux compilation

[Mike M. <zo...@je...>]

Hello, zoolib elite.

I heard of zoolib a while ago when it was mentioned on the abiword 
development list, and I've just now begun to look at zoolib 0.8.1.  It 
sounds great.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience compiling it in linux, 
or any unix-type system for that matter.  I'm running a debian 
distribution with various packages ranging between the 2.0 and the 
2.4 releases.

I don't have enough experience developing in a unix environment to 
know what libraries I might need for some of this, but if anyone can 
give me a list of any dependencies that zoolib relies on for me to 
hunt down, I'd appreciate it.

I followed the posix compilation instructions for compiling the 
HelloWorld sample program from the command line, but got some 
errors regarding missing files that are included from some of the 
zoolib files.  I've cut down the compiler output since most of it isn't 
relevant, but summarised, it's complaining about the following:

=====

../../zoolib/foundation/ZTypes.h:30: cstdio: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/graphics/ZDCFont.h:39: string: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/foundation/ZCompat_algorithm.h:32: algorithm: No such 
file or directory

../../zoolib/threads/ZThread.h:29: stdexcept: No such file or 
directory

../../zoolib/threads/ZThread.h:30: vector: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/graphics/ZDCPoly.h:31: vector: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/graphics/ZDCRgn.h:31: vector: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/foundation/ZTuple.h:33: string: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/uicore/ZMenu.h:36: vector: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/foundation/ZInterest.h:31: vector: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/foundation/ZString.h:29: string: No such file or directory

../../zoolib/uicore/ZUIFactory.h:30: map: No such file or directory


I noticed that every one of the included files that it can't find is 
missing a ".h" extention.  I managed to work around a couple by 
changing "csdio" to "stdio.h" and "string" to "string.h".  Some of 
the others aren't as obvious, though.  I'm not aware of any standard 
vector or map headers.


I'd appreciate any help or feedback about this.  Is it a known 
problem on 'nix systems, or am I missing something standard?  If 
anyone would like further information, let me know and I'll dig it up.

Thanks for any help.
Mike.
