Hi,

I want to use wstring on FreeBSD 4.8.
FreeBSD 4.8 by default had gcc 2.95.

So I have installed gcc 3.2.3

Now when I am compiling sample code

==============================
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::wstring str(L"Ashutosh");
return 0;
}
==============================

while compiling using 'g++ sample.cpp'

I am getting error:

sample.cpp: In function `int main()':
sample.cpp:5: `wstring' undeclared in namespace `std'
sample.cpp:5: syntax error before `(' token

I think problem with some configuration but dont know how to fix it.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Using gcc (g++) 4.2.3, it works fine.

gcc 3.2.3 is very old... I wonder if that was before the implementation of the standards regarding headers and STL contents?

IIRC back in those olden days string and friends weren't in the std namespace. Try it without the std:: prefix.

removing std:: doesn't help
