STL with GCC on HPUX

[BigAngryDog]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile an application of mine with GCC on HPUX, but the compiler isn't recognising anything which is STL. I'm getting compiler errors of the like:

Can't open include file 'string'.
Can't open include file 'exception'.
etc...

This isn't a CB question, but before I go around asking the guys in my office (and let everything know the breadth of my ignorance with Unix ) I'd thought I'd ask here.

Is there a conditional define, something like "USE_STL" for example, I may need in my project makefile to get GCC to use STL? Or is more likely that STL hasn't been installed with GCC?

Thanks

A good guess would be to use something that does not occur in 2000 file names (other than "string") and run locate on it. For example locate deque.

If that returns a path, then you add that path to your compiler's include paths. If that does not return anything, then you don't have it.

Can't open include file 'string'.

I wonder if it works if you don't use include <string>, but include <string.h> or even include "string.h"...?! LCC for example doesn't like <string> so I have to use "string.h" for my projects there allthough this is STL.

Thanks for replies.

It's lookling like there is there is no STL on machine I'm using.

With gcc, the ".h" STL includes live in the "backwards" subfolder under the location of the "real" includes and they don't really contain anything, they simply emit a warning after including the "real" file.
If you are unable to include <string> then you should not be able to include <string.h> either (wait... actually you will be able to include string.h, there is a C header with that name!)

You could always compile STLPort then. I have never done it, but I heard the Ogre project has a nice HOWTO on this (they use STLPort for some compatibility reason). Google on Ogre and STLPort will help

You should know that gcc != g++. STL is part of g++...

I haven't read "GCC". Sure, for GCC you'll get a backward warning in that case, so forget about my post.

Thanks for all the help!

OK. I'm learning this.

I have discovered that STL is indeed installed on the machine I'm using, but [I think] I need to setup an environment path. As I'm still learning the difference between the c shell and bash shell, I some way to go.

Oh and I love VI!

Cheers

What I meant was that you might have gcc installed but not g++. Just another lead
