Can you help me with this:

configure:2851: checking for C++ compiler version

For g++ I have

g++           g++-4.2       g++-4.3       g++-4.4       g++-4.5       g++-4.6       g++-4.7       g++-4.8       g++-4.9       g++-4.9.real

The script seems to loop using the same value for g++ over and over - that’s what I read from this section of the file.

Just so that I know exactly what you are doing: are you building from the git source, a tar distribution, or a source package ?

Also: on what platform ? (I’m guessing Debian?)

What happens if you just type g++-4.7 on the command line ?

I follow the instructions from https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/upmpdcli-debian-build.txt

on a raspberry pi 3 with Debian ARM. g-4.7 says not found (dunno the exact wording, it is similar to the output posted above) , the only one which seems to work is g-4.9

Ok, I see what’s happening, my bad. I am going to fix the source package (it has an option which only makes sense on wheezy). Meanwhile, you should be able to fix things locally. After changing your current directory to upmpdcli-2.10, edit debian/rules, comment out the export CXX=g++-4.7 line, and then follow the rest of the procedure.

thanks, this worked :)
