Errors compiling cups

[Soren Frank Munch]

I had the same problem and figured out the below solution.
Go to the directory where you have unpacked CUPS. Do the below patch for the file "configure" before you run it. This worked for me under FreeBSD 5.4 + cups-1.1.23

HIH,

In configure find this section:


-----------------------------------------
                        # This is gcc 3.x, and it knows of libsupc++, so we need it
                        CXXLIBS="-lsupc++"
                        echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6
                        ;;
        esac

        CXX="$CC"

        if test -z "$OPTIM"; then
-----------------------------------------



Then, after "esac" add the below lines (don't remove/change anything else), then run configure etc. as usual.

# Simple workaround if compiling (e.g. under FreeBSD 5.x)
# fails with this message:
# undefined reference to __cxxabiv1::__unexpected_handler'
# We simply use libstdc++ by adding next line:
#
# Read above comment "Starting with GCC 3.0..." for more on this.
#
        CXXLIBS="-lstdc++"
