Are those fixes in master, or cde-next? One is Sun-specific (long ago, Ulrich disabled some code by bumping compiler version checks; GCC 6 causes that code to run again). The real meat though is standards-compliance issues. I don't recall the exact error messages, but I've seen them at least on sun when trying to compile older codebases with newer GCC. Might just need a flag to tell it which standard applies...
I'd slated this work for post release (as we at least now have in-repo sunstudio and in-repo GCC 4.x working), but it's possible this problem isn't a hard one. I'll investigate a little later and send a build log. -mrt Original Message From: Jon Trulson Sent: Friday, June 15, 2018 17:29 To: cdesktopenv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [cdesktopenv-devel] imake gcc version detection (sun) merged to master, thanks! What gcc6 issues did you have? I fixed some for FreeBSD, maybe it works for you now? -jon On 06/15/2018 01:31 AM, Matthew R.
