Compiling Cufflinks 2.0.2 with gcc 4.7

[rwan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile Cufflinks 2.0.2 using gcc 4.7 under Ubuntu 12.10 but I'm encountering a compiler error:


In file included from ./lemon/list_graph.h:26:0,
from ./lemon/dfs.h:26,
from ./lemon/topology.h:22,

./lemon/bits/base_extender.h:362:21: note: declarations in dependent base ‘lemon::SmartBpUGraphBase’ are not found by unqualified lookup
...


I came across a bug report in Debian for Cufflinks 1.3.x from May 2012 which basically describes the same problem I'm having:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672744


Does anyone know of a work-around to fix it for 2.x? Incidentally, I have a slightly older system running Ubuntu 12.04 and that compiles Cufflinks with no problems. But that uses gcc 4.6 . So, gcc 4.7 (or something that it depends on?) is disallowing something that was previously permitted.

If anyone has an idea on how to fix this problem, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi all,

Some new information... I just found out that Ubuntu 12.10 has version 4.7 of gcc (and g++) as the new default, but one can explicitly also install 4.6. I compiled the file (just the file) that was causing the problem, and indeed it works fine.

I guess this solves my problem except that I need to get "configure" to use 4.6 instead of 4.7 .

If someone has a solution that doesn't go back to version 4.6, please let me know. Thanks!
