GG/Spin.h:503: error: syntax error before `>' token

Hi.

I tried to compile GiGi which I downloaded from svn just now, but I am getting syntax errors:

Code:

GG/Spin.h:503: error: syntax error before `>' token
GG/Spin.h:504: error: syntax error before `>' token
GG/Spin.h:506: error: syntax error before `>' token
GG/Spin.h:508: error: syntax error before `>' token
GG/Spin.h:511: error: syntax error before `>' token

I am using gcc 3.3.6. Should this this version work, or do I need something else? If it's not my compiler, what else could be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Val

This has shown up before. See here: http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=22364

You might want to check the versions of compilers with which everything has been compiled, particularly Boost, to ensure there are no mismatches.

Well, I have made sure that I only have gcc 3.3.6 on my system (nothing else is installed) and I recompiled DevIL myself, which before was installed from a slackpack. I also recompiled boost, but when I tried to compile GiGi, exactly the same error has occured.

This doesn't look like a compiler incompatability...

Has anyone sucessfully compiled GiGi with 3.3.6?

I used 3.4.4 to compile it, and everything compiled successfully. I suggest you get at least GCC 3.4.4 to compile this if at all possible.

Aha! Upgrading to gcc 3.4.5 solved the problem. GiGi has compiled and I am now in the process of compiling FreeOrion.

Thanks for the help.
