[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2204 Version: 1.3-current In the continuing effort to protect us from errors we never make, GCC 4.4's strings.h (or some deeply nested include therein) includes *two* flavors of strchr(): const char* strchr(const char*, int); // and char* strchr(char*, int); (Because we can't have our programmers sneaking around and mucking about in constant strings made vulnerable by a mere function call!) Starting circa line 275 of fl_set_fonts_xft.cxx we have: stop = start = first = 0; stop = strchr((const char *)font, ','); //** Here's first problem start = strchr((const char *)font, ':'); //** Here's second. if ((stop) && (start) && (stop < start)) { first = stop + 1; // discard first version of name // find first comma *after* the end of the name stop = strchr((const char *)start, ','); //** Here's third. } GCC 4.4 picks the more restrictive of the declarations and won't allow the result of strchr() (a const char*) to be assigned into a vanilla char*. The fix: Replace the first two casts to "(char*)", and delete the second cast entirely.
