Premise: I'm working on GNU MP 4.2.2, use Sun Studio 12 with latest patches.
Yes, I'm trying compile gmp with --enable-cxx. Gmp (both gmp and
gmpxx) is one of pieces of our KDE4 effort. I don't use gcc, because
there is some C++ ABI incompatibility against Sun C.
I do not use standard libCstd from Sun Studio. I have build Apache
RogueWave (Stdcxx) myself. All C++ I'm trying link to Stdcxx not to
libCstd.
Current status: gmp > compile fine, build fine. libgmp.so library is
fine and old test are passed OK.
gmpxx > compile fine, build fine static
library OK, for shared library final link to stdcxx (libtool) doesn't
work, but it's my unfamiliarity with this type of build. I'm working
on fix.
When I will be done, I will post spec files in svn repository.
