[Kde-nonlinux] KDE With Sun Forte C++

[Adriaan de Groot]

I'm trying to build KDE with CC: Sun C++ 5.5 Patch 113817-07 2004/03/23 - 
vaguely supposing that this is a supported compiler - and it's not going very 
quickly. Here and there I've made changes to get stuff to compile, like

class A
{
private:
	class B;
	typedef QValueList<B> BList;

	class B
	{
	private:
		BList *m_list;
	}
} 

which CC complains about (since BList is private in A) and gcc doesn't. 
Library modules typically need -lCstd -lCrun -lc added.

Anyway, questions:

1) Has anyone managed to compile KDE with Sun Forte C++?
2) Which compiler is right wrt. the nesting issue above?
3) I'm now working on kssl, and getting things like this:

"kopenssl.cc", line 450: Error: Cannot assign rsa_st*(*)(int,unsigned 
long,void(*)(int,int,void*),void*) to extern "C" rsa_st*(*)(int,unsigned 
long,extern "C" void(*)(int,int,void*),void*).
"kopenssl.cc", line 451: Warning (Anachronism): Assigning int(*)
(__FILE*,X509_req_st*) to extern "C" int(*)(__FILE*,X509_req_st*).
"kopenssl.cc", line 452: Warning (Anachronism): Assigning void(*)() to extern 
"C" void(*)().


now, this tells me that Forte considers 'extern "C"' an additional type 
modifier (instead of just linkage info), and that it's being a pain about 
type coercion. For this bit of code, would it make sense to add the 'extern 
"C"' s where needed?
