Dear Developers, I had a few minutes this morning so I thought that I would try and fix some bugs related to XHTML output. However, I don't have access to my normal laptop and was working on a Windows box with a 64 build of Qt 4.8, QtCreator (x64) and the mingw-w64 compiler.
In the process of trying to get the source to compile, I've run into a number of problems. Some of these were fairly simple to resolve, such as substituting intptr_t for int in a couple of places, but I've run into one error that I can't seem to figure out. Here's the compiler output: ...src\support\ForkedCalls.cpp:-1: In member function 'void lyx::support::<unnamed>::Murder::kill()': ...src\support\ForkedCalls.cpp:78: error: ambiguous overload for 'operator<<' in 'lyx::operator<<(((lyx::LyXErr&)(& lyx::lyxerr)), ((const char*)"Killed ")) << ((lyx::support::<unnamed>::Murder*)this)->lyx::support::<unnamed>::Murder::pid_' ...src\support\debug.h:190: note: lyx::LyXErr& lyx::operator<<(lyx::LyXErr&, const char*) <near match> ...support\debug.h:192: note: lyx::LyXErr& lyx::operator<<(lyx::LyXErr&, char*) <near match> in reference to this code (src/support/ForkedCalls.cpp, line 74): voidkill() { if (pid_ != 0) support::kill(pid_, SIGKILL); lyxerr << "Killed " << pid_ << endl; delete this; } It then gives a bunch of templates (defined in debug.h) that are near matches: LyXErr&operator<<(LyXErr&,voidconst*); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, const char *); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, char); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, char *); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, int); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, unsigned int); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, long); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, unsigned long); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, double); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, std::string const &); LyXErr & operator<<(LyXErr &, docstring const &); I've tried to Google the source of this error, but can't figure it. The code compiles fine on Mac OS X, Linux, and 32 bit Windows mingw. Moreover, there are templates for const char *, and char * so I don't understand why it's not happy. The version of gmake is 3.82, the version of the compiler is 4.5.4. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Cheers, Rob
