Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] libstdc++ error on Cygwin

[Vijay Pillai]

Hi Don,

You were absolutely right and thank you very much! I had 1.12.1 installed; I had double checked a couple of times to ensure that 1.12.0 was the one that was installed but then when I had updated a package it automatically updated cppunit to 1.12.1.

Following this, I ran "make check" and "make install" and followed the procedure to get the tone and it works so far.

Something that I want to note was that after running "make check" I did get an error message but the program did not halt when it showed the error. This error did not prevent the tone so maybe it does not matter. For reference, I am attaching the error message at the end of this mail.

Best regards,

-Vijay

Here is the error message at the end of running "make check"

Someone wants gcc 4.3.2 libraries, but the Cygwin install instructions assume you are using gcc 3.4.4.  Is it possible that you have installed cppunit 1.12.1 instead of 1.12.0?  You need to be careful: Any updating of Cygwin packages will update cppupnit to 1.12.1 unless you specifically tell it not to in the "Pending" view of Cygwin setup.

As an aside, it is helpful when reporting problems like this to show a little more of the output, including the libtool and g++ commands that preceded the error message.
