Troubleshooting compiler errors

2006-12-03 Thread dvmorris

I am trying to compile a linux program on cygwin, and I'm getting the
following error:

undefined reference to `std::basic_stringchar, std::char_traitschar,
std::allocatorchar ::c_str() const'

along with about a million other errors that look pretty similar.

I guess my real problem is that I have no clue how to troubleshoot any of
these errors, and I don't really know who to ask for help. I don't really
think this is the right place to ask, so if anyone knows where I could go
for help, I would really appreciate it. 

Thanks, 
dave

You really have not provided much information about the kind of code
you're compiling, what command you use to compile it, etc, but if I had to
take a WAG...

Use 'g++' to compile and link C++ programs.

HTH,

The most likely alternative would be the gcc-help mailing list.  In any 
case, you would have to be much more explicit about your problem, and 
you would have to take the documented steps and report on their results, 
if anyone is to help.   For example, you might have tried to use gcc 
rather than g++ to link, for all we can tell.
