[Kstars-devel] seeking help for kstars bug #65429

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

We have had several reports from people who cannot compile KStars (see 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65429 ).  The error is:

lx200classic.cpp:29: structure `eqNum' with uninitialized const members 

eqNum is a struct with const members, which *are* initialized in 
lx200generic.cpp.  We then reference eqNum in lx200classic.cpp on line 29 
with ‘extern INumberVectorProperty eqNum;’.

None of us on the kstars team have a problem compiling this code, and I have 
to believe that none of the core KDE devs do either, or they would have 
spoken up before the beta was tagged.  However, since beta1, at least three 
more people have reported the problem, and one person noted that commenting 
out line 29 circumvents the compile error.  Those users who reported their 
compiler version all had gcc 3.2.2 on RH9 or MDK9.x

Can anyone offer any advice on what is wrong with the code, and how we can fix 
it?  I posted this at kdedevelopers.org, but got no response.  Has anyone 
successfully compiled kstars with gcc-3.2.2 ?

thanks for any help,
Jason
