There was only one change I had to make to terragear to get it to build.
src/Lib/vpf/coverage.hxx
Change line 54 to:-
VpfCoverage (const VpfCoverage &coverage);
I commented it out and appended the new line
/* VpfCoverage::VpfCoverage (const VpfCoverage &coverage); */
VpfCoverage (const VpfCoverage &coverage);
Hope this helps.
Regards
Sid.
