Known to work with:
- - Linux on x86, Alpha and Sparc using GCC 2.95.x and 3.0.x.
+ - Linux on x86, Alpha and Sparc using GCC 3.0.x, 3.1 and 3.2.
Known not to work with:
- - GCC 2.7.x or earlier because proper exception support is missing there.
+ - GCC 2.96 or earlier because proper exception and standard library support
+ is missing there.
The "configure" script can be given a number of options to enable and
disable various features. For a complete list, type:
Building GiNaC requires many standard header files. If you get a
configure error complaining about such missing files your compiler and
library are probably not up to date enough and it's no worth
-continuing. If the only file missing is <sstream>, however, there is
-a solution. GCC-2.95.2 and earlier don't ship with this file. A
-working implementation has been available since GCC-2.95.3. GCC-3.0
-and later have an even better, fully standard-conforming
-implementation, by default. If you are stuck with GCC-2.95.2 or
-earlier and you cannot upgrade your compiler we recommend obtaining
-the libstdc++-v2 <sstream> header written by Magnus Fromreide. It was
-posted to the gcc-patches mailing list on November 21 2000:
