When I checked the archives, it appears that you have reported this
before. From log4cxx-user in July 12, 2008 I replied:
gcc 2.96 was a prerelease version of gcc 3.x and has an incomplete
implementation of the C++ Standard Template Library (see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html
) . I have been able to get messagebuffer.h to compile by forward
declaring std::ios_base and replacing std::basic_ostream<char> with
std::ostream and similar changes, but there are also compilation
failures in cachedateformat.cpp and properties.h and there may be
others. I do not intend to work around gcc 2.96's limitation.
gcc 2.96 is an odd-ball compiler disavowed by the gcc team. I'm not
saying that I'd be opposed to integrating patches to work around its
limitations as long as it doesn't compromise current and/or standard
compliant compilers. However, there is nothing that motivates me to
work through the issues with this compiler for you.
