codelib for aC++?

[Kevin (Gonzo) Bushman]

I've got a programmer that has just started using aC++ on our development system (he's also the first to use it). He's trying to compile "OpenTop", an application we've already purchased from a company in the UK that does XML validation. During the compiles it is trying to reference a library called "codelib". Now, to be honest, I'm not a C/C++ programmer. Never have been. So I'm not fluent on what's needed here.

I have a very recent version of aC++ on the system (A.03.76, I think on an 11.11 system.) I've done a search on the system and this package (codelib) is not on the system. I've also tried doing a web search with very no helpful results.

I will also say that the doc's that come with OpenTop state that it must be compiled under GNU C++, which we don't have and can't install. That's why he's trying to compile it under our HP aC++. So codelib MAY be part of GNU's compiler. I just don't know.

Does anyone know anything about this library or what it would may take to find and possibly install it?

TIA - Points will be given where warranted.

One more reason that an actual error message
might be more helpful than a vague
description.

[Kevin (Gonzo) Bushman]

Thanks, Steven. I should have known I would need error messages...

When I asked the programmer for it, here's what he sent me. Hope it helps.

This is the output of the compile. The include files 'string', 'functional', 'list', 'vector', & 'map', that can't be located are 'C' classes that, per the documentation, are located in the 'codelibs' library.

I should have also stated that the include files it's referencing, /usr/include/opentop/ot/base/compdefs.h for example, are there. I put them in the directory structure given to us by OpenTop.

The bundled C compiler is barely a C
compiler. It's certainly not a C++ compiler.

Well, I'd guess that you'll need _some_ C++
compiler. HP sells one.

I'd also guess that if you look at one of the
complaint-generating header files, like:
"/usr/include/opentop/ot/base/compdefs.h", line 22:
you'll see a non-C-like "#include" directive.

Are you sure?

Perhaps so, but you don't seem to be using
it. I know nothing, but "cc" is probably not
the name to use.

[Dennis Handly]

The cfront compiler used to have a "codelibs" component.

>The include files string, functional, list, vector, & map, that can't be located are 'C' classes that, per the documentation, are located in the 'codelibs' library.

These are part of the Standard C++ library.

Why are you using the bundled C compiler for a C++ application?

[Kevin (Gonzo) Bushman]

So what you guys are saying is that he is trying to use the bundled C compiler (not the C++, or aC++) using C++ components that certainly won't work with the C compiler and that the root cause of his issues is that he is not calling C++ compiler correctly? Am I getting this right?

So if I've got this right, how SHOULD he be calling the aC++ compiler? (Remember, I'm certainly not a C/C++ programmer by ANY definition!)

>how SHOULD he be calling the aC++ compiler?

The aC++ driver is: aCC
He probably needs to set this makefile macro: CXX=aCC

[Kevin (Gonzo) Bushman]

Where should aCC be? I've looked and can't find it!

Thanks, to all. Points have been awarded (or will be shortly).

Turns out all we had was the runtime libraries patch. So now I'll be off to download/install the evaluation copy of the compiler.

This programmer will then see if he can get OpenTop to compile under aC++. If it does, we'll have to look at the option of buying the compiler.

It's what the _compiler_ is saying.

One might question the talent of a so-called
programmer who can't tell if he's using a C++
compiler or not. I know nearly nothing about
C++, and even I can do that much.
