Description Yaniv Kaul 2011-04-27 06:02:45 UTC 
Trying to compile latest spice, on F15 beta/x86_64, I'm getting:
make[5]: Entering directory `/home/ykaul/spice/client/x11'
  CXX    event_sources_p.o
../../depcomp: line 611: exec: g++: not found
make[5]: *** [event_sources_p.o] Error 127
Comment 1 Yaniv Kaul 2011-04-27 06:09:57 UTC 
Note: installing gcc-c++.x86_64 solves it.

From http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/autoconf/C_002b_002b-Compiler.html:
[...] If none of those checks succeed, then as a last resort set CXX to g++.

People seem to do contrived tricks to check if there is a C++ compiler around, see http://www.google.com/codesearch#o2eFMadVrTo/configure.in&q=AC_PROG_CXX%20compiler%20missing&type=cs&l=834...

m4_pushdef([AC_MSG_ERROR],[cxxerror=yes])
AC_PROG_CXX
m4_popdef([AC_MSG_ERROR])

if test "x${cxxerror}" != "xyes"; then

lowering severity, as it is pretty harmless...

spicec is deprecated.
