[ILUG] linking 2.95 libraries with 3.2 compiled objects

[Greg Farrell]

Hi guys,

  I've always thought you can't link a library compiled with g++2.95
with one compiled with 3.2. So I've stuck to one version of the compiler
for everything.

However a customer uses g++3.2. So we have to give them our libraries
built using this version of the compiler. But the only version of a
third-party closed source library one of our components depends on that
we can download refuses to link with a 3.2 compiled object. I'm guessing
this third party library is compiled with an earlier version of g++.

So, are we stymied? Is it a case of telling the customer use gcc-2.95 or
naff off. Or am I being a bit silly?

   thanks,
     Greg
