Compile error with g++ 4.8.2

[gsteele13@…]

I recently reinstalled mac OS on my macbook, and in doing so, have switched from a 10.6 fink system to a 10.9 macports system.

I was recently trying to compile some software (code available here ​http://nsweb.tn.tudelft.nl/~gsteele/spyview/) using the macports environment (primarily linking to librarires fltk and boost).

The code compiled fine on my old 10.6 fink installation, but I am now getting the following error in 10.9 with macports:

In file included from /opt/local/include/boost/limits.hpp:19:0,
                 from /opt/local/include/boost/integer_fwd.hpp:16,
                 from /opt/local/include/boost/integer.hpp:18,

                 from spyview_ui.h:6,
                 from spyview_ui.C:3:
/opt/local/include/gcc48/c++/limits:1405:35: error: template argument 1 is invalid
     struct numeric_limits<__int128>

I have also tried the apple-gcc42 compiler, and with this compiler, the code compiles fine, but fails at linking (I guess probably the gcc-4.8 c++ libraries are not linkable with gcc-4.2?).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,
Gary

Could you provide a test case?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You have to use clang; you can't use gcc.

thanks, indeed, i was not aware that everything has switched over to clang

with CXX=clang++, the error is gone, thanks!

(now I just need to clean up my code so that it is clang compatible...)
