I give up! Help!

[Rick Moore]

OK.  I think I figured it out.  Seems to be working; here's what was required to work with gcc 2.95.1:

1) "-fpermissive" was required to get rid of the ANSI errors. This took care of the bulk of problems.
2) 2 libraries "-ldl -ldb" don't exist on my system.  Don't know what they are, but it didn't seem to have a problem linking without them.
3) The classparser had the remaining problems.  In several files a construct like "str != NULL" was used where str is defined as a QT object like QString.  For some reason, the compiler found this ambiguous, so I changed it to "str != 0".  I hope I didn't break the code-- it appears to work OK.  I had to make about 4 changes like this-- if you'd like me to document them more diligently for the developers, just let me know.

Regards,
Rick

  I've searched the mail archive, and I'm astonished that I'm the only one with this problem.  Please save me from a life cursed with vi.  Your product looks awesome, and I'd really like to get it working.

  I've tried gcc 2.95 (latest release), egcs 1.1.?, gcc 2.7.x, and gcc 2.8.1.  All of them crap out at various points trying to compile the source code.  From my searches on the mail list, it sounds like you all have 2.95.1 working so I'll concentrate on that one.  I'm running a fresh install of FreeBSD 3.2.  I've confirmed the revision levels of gmake, autoinstall, flex, etc.  The ./configure line is "./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/g++".

  Is there anything else I can tell you that might help diagnose the problem?  I'm still somewhat naive to the ways of the open source community, so it could just be something stupid.

  The compiler output is as follows:

  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11/qt  -I/usr/include/g++ -I/usr/X11R6/include    -O2 -Wall -c ClassParser.cc
