[hylafax-users] Compile error

[Günther Zinsberger (NBG) <gz@nbg.glasfasertechnik.at>]

Hello List,

I use SuSE-Linux 8.0 (standard installation with additional packets).
I have a problem compiling hylafax (4.1.4) from source:

*************************
Configuring HylaFAX (tm) (aka FlexFAX) 4.1.4.

If configure does the wrong thing, check the file config.log for
information that may help you understand what went wrong.

Reading site-wide parameters from ./config.site.
Here we are again, this time on a i686-pc-linux-gnu system.
Using /usr/bin/gcc for a C compiler (set CC to override).
Looks like /usr/bin/gcc supports the -g option.
Using " -g" for C compiler options.
Looks like /usr/bin/gcc has an ANSI C preprocessor.
... but __ANSI_CPP__ is not automatically defined, will compensate.
Looks like /usr/bin/gcc supports the -M option for generating make
dependencies.

Cannot locate a suitable C++ compiler.

We attempted to compile the following test program:

----------------------------------------------------------
class foo {
public:
    struct bar {
        int a;
        bar();
    };
    foo();
};
foo::bar::bar() { a = 0; }
foo::foo() { bar x; }
int main() { foo t; return 0; }
----------------------------------------------------------

with these compilers:

     g++ gcc CC NCC DCC gcc2 xlC

but none of them were successful.

To build this software you need a C++ compiler that supports a
reasonably modern version of C++.  In particular the compiler must
support nested types and process temporary variables according to the
ANSI Reference Manual (the ARM).

If such a compiler is in a non-standard location, you can specify its
location in several ways:

    o set the environment variable CXX
    o create a config.local or config.site file that includes a
      definition for CXX
    o supply it on the command line using -with-CXX=<pathname>

If you are trying to use GNU gcc, but you do not have version 2.6.1
or newer, then you must update your compiler (and probably libg++ as
well) before you can compile this software.  Consult the documentation
for information about obtaining an up-to-date version of gcc.

Unrecoverable error!  Once you've corrected the problem rerun this
script.
*************************

libg++ is installed (find / -name libg++*):
/usr/lib/libg++-1.so.2
/usr/lib/libg++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2
/usr/lib/libg++-3-libc6.2-2-2.8.1.3.so
/usr/lib/libg++-3-libc6.2-2-2.8.1.3.a
/usr/lib/libg++-libc6.2-2.a.3

gcc is installed (gcc --version):
2.95.3

Do I have to set any variable (CXX)?
Which value???

Thanks in advance.
Guenther
