I'm not new to programming, but I am new to DJPP. I had 2.7.x working
quite well, and had no trouble compiling various programs with it. I
recently updated to 2.8.1 and have been experiencing a problem not seen
here in the ng.

I am fairly sure I have the right files (I used the zip picker to tell
me what I needed). When I installed the new version I totally wiped out
the old (ie deleted all the directories associated with it). I've read
the gnu/gcc-28.1/problems.txt file, and looked at what I considered
relevant in the FAQ and did not find an answer to my problem.

In short, my problem happens when I include both math.h and
vector/vector.h in a file. Apparently (and I'm not a champion of reading
error messages), there is an exception struct used twice, and it *seems*
like there is a missing #ifdef ... #endif in a header file somewhere,
but I could be wrong. The C/C++ linkage error message goes over my head
though. This file, and the ones I'm working with compiled fine under
2.7.x.

I would appreciate any help that could be offered (and if it is an RTFM,
please point me in the right direction). I'll try to keep up with the
ng, but an E-mail reply would be great!

TIA,
Nathan

Consider this dummy file:

#include <math.h>
/* <vector> or <vector.h>, either way. STL book uses <vector> */
#include <vector>

int main()
{
  int i = 0;
  return 0;
}


compile this as:
gcc -v -c problem.cpp
or
gxx -v -c problem.cpp

(note: reversing the order of the vector/math includes will slightly
change the error messages)

and you will get this error message:
(if gcc)
Reading specs from d:/scratch/nathan/lib/specs
(if gxx)
Reading specs from d:/scratch/nathan/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.81/specs
(rest the same)
