Xapian discuss - Dec 2004 - Build errors in xapian 0.8.4

When trying to build xapian 0.8.4, I saw this build error.
Appareantly btree.cc depended on xapian.h to include iostream?

This is with the zlib-patch applied

btree.cc: In member function `bool Btree::add(const std::string&,
    std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>,
std::allocator<char>
 >)':
btree.cc:1143: error: `cout' undeclared (first use this function)
btree.cc:1143: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for
    each function it appears in.)
btree.cc:1143: error: `endl' undeclared (first use this function)

After sticking a #include <iostream> it went well untill this:

g++ -Wall -W -Wno-long-long -fno-gnu-keywords -pipe -march=pentium4 -O3

afaik there should be a -lzlib or -lz orso in the g++ command?
The machine does run zlib 1.1.4, but that's not the problem here I suppose?

Best regards,

It's quite possible.  I'll check and fix that.

Ah yes.  The patch adds it to the top level Makefile.am, but you'll need
to configure with --enable-maintainer-mode so that automake gets run.

It might fail to run correctly though - looking at the zlib changelog,
you probably need 1.2.0 to be able to set a dictionary with raw deflate
(which is what the patch uses).
