New issue 947 by nicolas.sceaux: Build failure on OS X on std-vector.hh
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=947

Harmath Dénes reports:

"""
When running make all on OS X 10.6.2, I get the following C++ compilation  
error:

In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/vector:70,
               from ./include/std-vector.hh:78,
               from ./include/file-name.hh:23,
               from file-name.cc:21:
/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/stl_vector.h:162: error: template class without  
a
name
/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/bits/stl_vector.h:170: error: expected unqualified-id
before '<' token

...and things go downhill from there, flooding the screen with C++ syntax
errors.

According to the discussion in
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg29280.html,
there is a workaround, issuing the command

perl -pi -e 's|__vector|lily_vector|g' flower/include/std-vector.hh

solves the problem.
If it compiles well on other platforms with it, LilyPond should contain the
patched version of std-vector.hh.
"""

A similar patch have been proposed by Dan Eble in september 2008, and  
Han-Wen answered:
"""
I'm a little bit concerned that this might break on other platforms.
Is anyone familiar with the finesses of gcc's STL on various
platforms? Ideally, the

  !HAVE_STL_DATA_METHOD

should probably die, but I don't know for which GCC versions we are
catering exactly.
"""

I have committed the following patch:
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commit;h=6b78efc2ea0cb064850c264ff225d9930353a178>
but I was probably too hasty, considering Han-Wen concerns.

If the patch actually breaks building on other platforms, or is considered  
a bad idea, then it shall be reverted.
