C++ 4.2 Headers

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in the process of setting up a private server using
freebsd as a root.

However I'm having difficulties in getting the c++ 4.2 Headers (the
folders are empty with the exception of the subfolders).

Does anyone know where you can download the entire Header package?

The only thing I found is their [documentation](https://gcc.gnu.org/on
linedocs/gcc-8.1.0/libstdc++/api/files.html).

Could you please give some more context? This doesn't look good.

FBSD is using clang, but you've linked the GCC docs, these are two
completely different thing.

Second, what for do you need these exact headers? To the best of my
knowledge, you don't need to explicitly specify the versioning when
including any headers. This seems quite fishy.

The link you pasted is into GNU `libstdc++`, FreeBSD has been using
Clang and `libc++` for years, so that's the wrong place anyway
nowadays.

To get the contents of `/usr/include`, you should just install the
base distribution, which should be automatically done by the
installer. So, the situation where the default compiler and supporting
headers are not there should be impossible after a successful install.

If you're missing something, you can get the contents directly from
their distribution sites. The base system is contained in the
`base.txz` archive, see for example: [https://download.freebsd.org/ftp
/releases/amd64/13.0-
RELEASE/](https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/13.0-
RELEASE/)

Ah I see and it was my bad for not using enough context:

The files I'm using require FreeBSD 11.3 and since they need to be
compiled with g++ I got the error messages and it turned out I still
needed the headers.

The installation was done automatically via the hoster service so I'm
not sure if something went wrong.

I guess you should be asking them. Also, if there's a specific version
if gcc required, you should go for that, there are multiple versions
in the ports tree.

I would say build/install the required gcc from ports yourself, or
using the official repositories. The handbook is an excellent resource
for these tasks.
