[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp 0.12.3 does not compile properly under Solaris 11.2/sparc Error: Could not find a match for std::wstring::basic_string(const char*, const char*) needed in

Yes, all the checks pass on CRAN because they use the gcc toolchain for
Rcpp and all packages that depend on it:

The problem is likely the Sun Studio compiler. 'Nobody here' uses that
anymore, and even CRAN / Oxford which tests on Solaris (x86,sparc) uses
gcc
per the tests page:

We are doing things in C++ which are standard now, but for which Sun
Studio
does not seem to have caught up.

Maybe you need to look into installing the gcc toolchain.

Maybe another list reader has a better idea but I fear that is all we can
say
here.

Greetings,  Dirk
