Re: Location of Source-Repo (Re: Build errors with GCC 14)

[William Bader]

Hi,

My repo is for my own purposes and unofficial.

I am fine with anyone either cloning it or cherry-picking commits to make an official repo.

I have fixed a small number of bugs and a number of gcc compile warnings.

I didn't realize that Jeff would ever release another version of lout, so I made some systemic changes when fixing compile warnings that might prevent recent commits in my repo from applying cleanly to older versions.

I currently have gcc 13.2.1 on my Fedora 39 laptop.

I just built gcc 14.1.0 on an Alma8 server, and it looks like 'make' from my repo builds everything cleanly.

I think that gcc 10 changed to make global declarations stricter so exactly one module has to declare variables without 'extern'. Older gcc treated globals like fortran common blocks.

Did Jeff say that?

Regardless, it would be good to build consensus on a gradual move
towards community development of the tool, be it on the current official
hosting site at <https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lout> or
elsewhere, incorporating useful changes people have made in their
personal repos.

That would be a clarification over the current situation.
