<limits> (and other?) autoconf-generated C++ headers missing from installation
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:59 EDT
Standard C++ header files appear to be missing from the distribution. In particular, "/usr/include/g++-3/limits" is not installed. This header will most likely depend on other C++ headers such as: /usr/include/bits/c++config.h /usr/include/bits/std_cfloat.h /usr/include/bits/std_climits.h - I'm not sure about the installation paths (that's up to you). But they are nowhere on the system. I assume these headers should in theory be installed by this RPM: libstdc++-devel-2.96-69.i386.rpm I am able to build the necessary headers by running rpm -i gcc-2.96-69.src.rpm rpm -bi gcc.spec The necessary headers are generated, but they are not copied to the install directory, never packaged in any RPM, and never installed on the system. I'm not sure if this bug has anything to do with bug #13618
This is not a bug. We don't build libstdc++-v3 which only contains that header, because at the time we stabilized gcc-2.96 (Jul 2000), libstdc++-v3 was nowhere near to be ready. And at the moment we'd introduce binary incompatibility with RHL 7.0 compiler. Please wait until gcc-3.0 is ready.
