Rejoice! > libg++ is not updated. libg++ is *dead*. Its has mostly been superseded by the STL. See http://egcs.cygus.com/ and the G++ FAQ for details. For those that absolutely need some of the libg++ classes, you can download libstdc++-2.8.1.1.tar.gz the will work with EGCS 1.1.2 / GCC 2.8.1 from ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/ (or maybe also prep.ai.mit.edu) > libstdc++ has some classes 'if 0'-ed out. What from the ISO standard is missing from libstdc++? > I have a project that uses the string class and iostream. Whose string class? C++ string classes are even better than standards -- everybody's got one so there's so many to choose from (and of course none of their API's match). > Or, is there a near-term fix for the egcs package? There is no fix for the EGCS package as it isn't broken. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
