Compile error with g++ 4.8.2

[gsteele13@…]

I recently reinstalled mac OS on my macbook, and in doing so, have switched from a 10.6 fink system to a 10.9 macports system.

I was recently trying to compile some software (code available here ​http://nsweb.tn.tudelft.nl/~gsteele/spyview/) using the macports environment (primarily linking to librarires fltk and boost).

The code compiled fine on my old 10.6 fink installation, but I am now getting the following error in 10.9 with macports:

In file included from /opt/local/include/boost/limits.hpp:19:0,

from /opt/local/include/boost/integer_fwd.hpp:16, from /opt/local/include/boost/integer.hpp:18, from /opt/local/include/boost/archive/basic_binary_iprimitive.hpp:49, from /opt/local/include/boost/archive/binary_iarchive_impl.hpp:21, from /opt/local/include/boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp:20, from myboost.h:5, from ImagePrinter.H:9, from ImageWindow.H:19, from spyview_ui.h:6, from spyview_ui.C:3:

/opt/local/include/gcc48/c++/limits:1405:35: error: template argument 1 is invalid

struct numeric_limits<int128>

I have also tried the apple-gcc42 compiler, and with this compiler, the code compiles fine, but fails at linking (I guess probably the gcc-4.8 c++ libraries are not linkable with gcc-4.2?).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks, Gary
