g++ does not compile on Mac OS X Mavericks

I've got a little problem with my new MacBook and Mac OS X Mavericks. On my Linux Machine my code compiles without problems, but on my Mac I get cryptic error messages I do not understand.

For example something like this:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/c++/v1/list:240:62: error: 
  invalid use of non-static data member '__ptr_'
explicit __list_iterator(__node_pointer __p) _NOEXCEPT : __ptr_(__p) {}

Can someone please help me? I have really no idea what to do...

EDIT: So... Here is more from the error log. It's the first part. The full log is too long...

Solution

  • You define a macro named throw in nr3.h on line 71. This clashes with the use of the throw keyword in the c++ standart library.

    An easy solution would be to name the macro something else, like MY_PROJECT_THROW.

    It is anyway a good practice to prefix all macros you define with a uniqe string to prevent such name clashes.
