RE: [Gcl-devel] Gcc 3.4 and GCL

[Mike Thomas]

Hi again.

Having fixed the previously reported type check problems in the gmp3
directory the build then fails dramatically in "o/main.c" due to undefined
types etc in the very first definition of "h/new_decl.h".

Rearranging some of the headers in "h/include.h" gets rid of those errors
but still the following:

============================================================================
=============
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/cvs/stable/gcl-2.6.1/o'

../h/../h/new_decl.h:3: error: syntax error before '{' token

============================================================================

Apparently gcc 3.4 is a very different compiler to 3.x.  I am pleased about
its apparent pickiness about these things however as I hope it will lead us
to clues regarding the Windows instability problems.

Cheers
