Compiling ACE/TAO 1.2 libraries with CentOS 6

Question

I am on a 64 bit CentOS 6.7 machine with g++ 4.4.7 and I am trying to compile the ACE TAO library 1.2 that was compiled with g++ 2.96.

When I try to compile using the g++ version 4.4.7 I get the following errors (more complete output here

g++ -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -pipe -O3 -g -Wno-uninitialized -fno-implicit-templates   -D_POSIX_THREADS -D_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS -D_REENTRANT   -I/home/oscarpelaoo/Downloads/ACE_wrappers -DACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS  -c -fPIC -o .shobj/URL_Addr.o URL_Addr.cpp

After a bit of research, I found that Red Hat offers some old libstdc++ libraries for CentOS 6 here.

Is it possible to use an old version of g++ 2.96 which I don't believe has 64 bit support or can I somehow use the compatibility tools with g++ 4.4.7 to try to make something happen?

Answer 1

Answering my own post since I was able to install it.

After installing the relevant 32bit libraries, the -m32 flag needed to get added. Then we needed to add a -DACE_LACKS_NEW_H flag since my system does not contain the <new.h> file. After that I just needed add a forward declaration and the library compiled.
