compiling with Sun Studio

[Jim Langston]

Hi all,

Has anyone compiled 2.9.13 with Sun Studio compilers?

I'm down to one last error:

It is in sighandlers.cc, and I get this error:

"./base-list.h", line 45: Error: Cannot cast from pid_equal to 
bool(*)(const octave_child&).


Which is associated with the class pid_equal.

If I compile with -library=stlport4, then I can get this file to 
compile, but because of the nature
of this option, all of octave must be compile with that option, and that 
introduces all kinds of
errors with the rest of the source code.

If looks like list::remove_if method requires exact type of the argument 
- bool ( * ) ( const T & )
which with the standard C lib is a problem. Can this class be 
re-written, or is there another
way to solve for it?

Thanks,

Jim
