from gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 (pre-release) distributed with Mandrake 7.1 Linux /* * When compiling tbcmp.cpp */ tbcmp.cpp: In function `bool FReasonableName(char *)': tbcmp.cpp:454: name lookup of `pchTemp' changed for new ANSI `for' scoping tbcmp.cpp:449: using obsolete binding at `pchTemp' /* * When compiling tbgen.cpp. */ Tbgen.cpp: In function `void VCreateTable(int, int)': Tbgen.cpp:2448: initialization to `char *' from `const char *' discards qualifiers /* * I fixed this by casting the constant to (char*) * char *pchExt = (char*) PchExt (sd); * which I hope is correct. */ Do those using Linux have the same problems. Bob you have come across this? Frank BTW Ed, As a newbie to Linux I have used RedHat, Mandrake, Caldera and SuSE. RedHat was my least favourite. SuSE used to be my preferred choice until the distribution split into two types, normal and professional. Andrew (of PostModernist fame) introduced me to the Kdevelop programming IDE, which is roughly equivalent to the MS/Borland environment. My choice is now based on getting this on the distribution and price. Since a full distribution of Mandrake came on a PCW magazine DVD this is what I use. It is very easy to install. While Mandrake 7.2 has KDE2, it does not have Kdevelop so I am still use with version 7.1 MSVC++ produces about 20-30 percent faster executables than gcc. However all the Linux programming tools are free; and I doubt I shall ever be able to justify buying MSVC again. A faster CPU is cheaper!
