Re: [baby-devel] Fw: Problem with installing BabyChess

[Jerome Kunegis]

Hi,

Thank you for testing.  I think Mandrake 9 has GCC 3.2, and I have not
tested BabyChess with this compiler.  From `install.out' I can spot these
type of errors:

- missing typenames.  Gcc 3.2 complains that implicit typenames are not
  supported anymore.  At these points you must add the keyword "typename"
  before the type name.  Example:  Replace "Type::Open_Info" with
  "typename Type::Open_Info".

- Redundant default arguments.  The definition of some functions (e.g.
  Process_Create() in src/process.cc) contains default arguments.  Default
  arguments should only be present in the declaration in the .hh file.
  Example:  Replace "File *out= NULL" with "File *out", but only in the
  .cc files.

- complaints about Set_Transient().  These may be caused by the previous
  errors, but I'm not sure.


If you correct these errors, could you then send a patch?  That would be
very nice.

I'll try to release 13.1 soon with your help, and by the time 14 comes
out, I'll have a newer distro at home to test it with.


Anyway thank you very much,

        Jerome
