Re: [sigc] static compile error

Hi Mohsen,

Hope you still remember what you were doing in July :-)

How did you solve your problem? Did you switch to the latest version of 
libsigc++? Was "#include <cstddef>" missing in sigc++/signal_base.h in 
the version you first tested? Could you build libsigc++ with "#include 
<cstddef>" in sigc++/signal_base.h, or did you have to change it to 
"#include <stddef.h>"?

The reason I ask is that I've now installed gcc 4.7.0 on my Ubuntu 12.04 
system, and I have no problem building libsigc++ with it. ('make check' 
fails, but for another reason. I haven't investigated that problem yet.)

I've noticed now that "#include <cstddef>" was added in libsigc++ 2.2.9, 
and you said you first tried to build libsigc++ 2.2.0.

It's interesting to know if any Linux distribution contains a new 
version of gcc that can't built the latest version of libsigc++.

Now I'm not convinced after having tested with gcc 4.7.0.
