Building mico2.3.13

[EBERSOLD André]

I tried to compile mico 2.3.13 on FC9 with gcc 4.3.0

just run configure and than make.

I got an error in fast_array.cc
Someone knows where the definition UINT_MAX comes from ?

Kind regards Andre E.

It comes from either your C++ compiler header files or from the OS
header files. It depends. On Solaris I do have it defined in
/usr/include/iso/limits_iso.h and also GCC 4.2.3 comes with its own
definition in
/usr/local/gcc-4.2.3/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/4.2.3/include/limits.h

Anyway, GCC team has clean up quite a lot of header files for 4.3.x
release so I guess what was included unnecessarily in previous GCC
releases is not included now hence the compilation failure.

Cheers,
Karel

This error is also present in a recent Ubuntu release, which contains a
g++ compiler > 4.3.0

Is just including the limits.h file in fast_array.cc enough? It compiles
when I do that, but is that a valid solution ?

Here is a patch what I did to solve this:
