reproduce libc++/libstdc++ ABI incompatibility on Linux

Question

A friend of mine and I are working on a project using C++11. He is using OS X and I am using Linux.

As libc++ and libstdc++ are not ABI-compatibel, we have to make sure not to mix the up between our libraries and our application.

However we currently have linker issue caused by mixing libc++ and libstdc++ and I want to try figure out, from which libraries it's caused.

Ideally I would like to do it at home, but as I don't own a mac and I don't want to pay multiple hundreds of dollars just for one bugfix I would like to try to reproduce the issue it on my linux system.

Answer 1

Appereantly Mac OS X is the only platform with full libc++ support.

A Windows and a Linux port are currently on their way, but are not fully functional yet (2013-07-18)

However, down below build instructions for Linux do exist, which I am going to try out.
