Dear Jurgen,

The xclasses-1.4.0 compiled quite nicely. Now I'm having problems crashing the compile on line 477 at xc-mail-2.3devel/src/folder_manager.cxx, in the function `void folder_manager::makewin()': The c++ compiler is now not recognizing "functions" and "tokens" which compiled quite nicely with the 2.96 gcc compiler. There are a large number of things like ul and < and li, to name a few, which the compiler does not recognize. Do you have a solution for that problem? If it requires CVS, should I be able to find that somewhere in the five install cd-roms that come with this SuSE-8.2, or is there a web location where I should find the CVS system?

The problem exists with both xc-mail-2.2 and xc-mail-2.3devel.


Well, I'm working with 8.1 and I compiles fine. So I had no reason for such changes - no errors, no changes ;-)

However, looks like the new gcc is a little more ugly.... You can make a workaround for you until I find the time to fix this:

In folder_manager.cxx:477 you'll find a large text ending at line 524. The problem is that this string is only once quoted - starting at line 477 and ending at 524. Gcc now requires to have every line quoted so you must add a quote sign at the beginning and end of every line (if there is no quote already). This will look like:
helptxt->Text("<body>The folder management is divided in 2 areas:"
"<ul><li>the folder controller"
