• In order for template instantiation to occur in every case, you must change your como script, which is found in /<YourComeauDir>/bin/como. You will need to change this line:
  
  EDG_PRELINK_DEFAULT_OPTIONS="-f gnu" export EDG_PRELINK_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
  
  to:
  
  EDG_PRELINK_DEFAULT_OPTIONS="-u -f gnu" export EDG_PRELINK_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
  
  (Note: Each of the above is one line, however, your browser many line wrap them giving the appearance that an environment variable is on a line by itself -- it isn't.)
  
  
• The <stdarg.h> from gcc uses some magic that is best currently circumvented. You can do this by creating a /<YourComeauDir>/include/stdarg.h. Click here to obtain the raw bytes.
  
  
• We have compiled g++'s iostreams with como. If you would like to obtain a copy, it is strictly on an "AS-IS" basis. Please note that the file, libcomodios.a.Z, is compressd. Please also note that this is not a Comeau product, nor are we claiming any rights to it. It is being provided as a service, only.

  Do note that if you run into a problem, there are two resolutions to try:
  
  
  • Change your como script, which is found in /<YourComeauDir>/bin/como. You will need to change this line:
    
    EDG_MUNCH_OPTIONS="-u" export EDG_MUNCH_OPTIONS
    
    to:
    
    EDG_MUNCH_OPTIONS="-u | grep -v _sti__streambuf_cc_io_defs_" export EDG_MUNCH_OPTIONS
    (Note: Each of the above is one line, however, your browser many line wrap them giving the appearance that an environment variable is on a line by itself -- it isn't.)
    
    
  • Different LINUX's apparently do not always use the same header files, so pick up a copy of some alternate header files (in compress'd cpio'd form) that you should put into its own directory and copy respective header files from there over into your /<YourComeauDir>/include directory as appropriate.
