Compiler error with g++ 4.7.2

[touwwouter]

On the current Debian stable (Wheezy Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux), compilation fails with g++ 4.7.2 after running ./configure in the decompressed dist tarball. The problem appears to be related to the compiler and not to the xssp source:

make  all-am

@jonblack is still relevant?

@cbaakman Can you check this. I have a feeling this is also resolved.

When building a debian:wheezy docker image, the following errors pop up:
autoconf:

configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

configure:

./configure: line 4346: syntax error near unexpected token `1.48'
./configure: line 4346: `AX_BOOST_BASE(1.48)'

So it doesn't even reach the compiling step.
