Errors building STLPort - c++

I'm trying to use STLPort in my project, and when I follow the directions in INSTALL.unixes I get compile errors.
I ran ./configure, then make, the output is below. I'm using make 3.81 and gcc 4.6.1 on Ubuntu.
Edit: I tried adding --with-extra-cxxflags="-std=c++ox" and I get a different and smaller set of errors, listed below.

It turns out the source I got my copy of STLPort from, git://stlport.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/stlport/stlport, is much more bleeding edge than I thought. If I grab the stable build from SourceForge it compiles fine.

passing const iterator as ‘this’ argument discards qualifiers while using vector::erase in a template

I am trying to remove the first value of a vector of template typenames. Using the erase() method in vector stl, I keep getting this error:

Is it having trouble because sequence should be const? Am I declaring the iterator wrong somehow? Here is my code. Please let me know If you have any questions:
template<typename DataType>
TTrie<DataType>& TTrie<DataType>::operator+=(const std::vector<DataType>& sequence) {
const DataType c = sequence[0];
const TTrie<DataType>* child = getChild(c); //Returns a pointer to a child node or a nullptr
if (!child) {
TTrie<DataType>* n = new TTrie<DataType>(c);
edgeMap[c] = n;
}
if(sequence.size() > 1) {
typename std::vector<DataType>::const_iterator it;
it = sequence.cbegin(); //First value of sequence
sequence.erase(it);
*edgeMap[c] += sequence;
}
return *this;
}
Your sequence parameter is a reference to a const std::vector<DataType> object. But std::vector::erase() is not qualified as being a const method, as it modifies the content of the vector, so it cannot be called on a const object. That is what the error message is trying to tell you - that erase() is being called on a const object.

Inserting a boost::unique_ptr in std::map

Is there a way to store the boost::unique_ptr in std::map? Is it allowed in earlier versions? Can we do this any other way? I cannot change the compiler, the code I'm working on is very old and has not been modified in long time.
value_type of std::map requires copy constructor for insert. boost::unique_ptr have a private copy constructor (which could have been deleted I suppose)
You can simply use emplace (you'll also need to std::move or boost::move it):
mgrPluginCache.emplace(1, boost::move(foo));
But... if you have std::map::emplace then your compiler supports c++11, then you may consider using std::unique_ptr instead of boost.
P.S.
g++ 3.4.6 is +10 years old and is likely to break something in recent boost versions. Is there any specific reason to use an outdated compiler?

Taking 2D vector out of 3D Vector and replace with other 2D-Vector

I want to save for an game my 2D-Vector std::vector<std::vector<std::string>> _map in an 3D-Vector std::vector<std::vector<std::vector<std::string>>> _save with:
_save.push_back(_map);
Later I want (if condition) replace my 2D-Vector by the last-saved 2D-Vector in my 3D-Vector and then delete the last-saved 2D-Vector. My code is:
std::vector<std::vector<std::string>> map2;
int var = _save.size() -1; // tried with _save.back() too
map2.push_back(_save[var]);
_save.pop_back();
_map.swap(map2);
What am I doing wrong? What should it look like? Thank you for your help.

Invoking Template Function using Random Access Iterator

As part of an MOC, I am implementing the merge_sort subroutine, and just for curiosity's sake, I would like to implement it using a function signature similar to what std::sort does.
The code I have so far is as follows.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
template <typename T>
bool read_number_list(const std::string& filename, std::vector<T>& output_array){
// ... read number list into an array
return true;
}
template<typename RandomAccessIterator>
void merge_sort_array (RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last, std::vector<decltype(*first)>& merge_array){
// ... merge routine
}
template<typename RandomAccessIterator>
void sort_array (RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last){
std::vector<decltype(*first)> merge_array;
merge_array.assign(first, last);
merge_sort_array(first, last, merge_array);
}
int main(){
std::vector<int> number_array;
read_number_list<int>("file.txt", number_array);
sort_array(number_array.begin(), number_array.end());
return 0;
}
I am seeing errors in the step where I make a copy of the array to be sorted, and also at the point where I invoke the merge_sort_array method. As is customary in templated code, I get the following plethora of errors (which I find quite inscrutable):

What am I doing wrong?
Your problem is the misuse of decltype:
decltype( expression )
yields T& for lvalue expressions of type T, and you cannot have an std::vector<int&>. Thus the error.
To fix that, use typename std::iterator_traits<RandomAccessIterator>::value_type as template parameter instead.

Adding this instance variable to the header of a C++11 file drives the compiler up the wall. Why?

I've been trying to get my artificial intelligence program (written in C++11) to stop spewing out error messages larger than my Terminal will record. I've withered away methods one at a time until the message went away, and have hence found the precise line which makes the computer go bonkers. Here's the pertinent part of my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <math.h>
class H
{
public:
H(int);
int get_val();
private:
int val;
};
class Hvote
{
public:
Hvote() : error(1.0) { }
std::vector<H&> hs;
double error;
};
int main()
{
Hvote hvote;
return 0;
}
To me, it all looks reasonable. However, the compiler (g++) disagrees. The error messages are so long that my Terminal doesn't even bother saving the beginning, so I don't know their true length. However, they're pretty repetitive. The last page, for instance, reads:

However, there's only one little change I need to make so that this all goes away. In hvote.h, just delete the line, std::vector<H&> hs;. Now everything works perfectly! What's the problem with that line? (In my not-reduced and much longer original program, hs is a variable I need, as opposed to here where I've paired away all the methods of hvote that use it)
Thanks!
It has a problem with you keeping a vector of non-const references
std::vector<H&> hs;
I would suggest maintaining either a vector of values or pointers, depending on if you want to own these H instances or just reference them.
std::vector<H> hs;
std::vector<H*> hs;
