But in practice no compilers could be full compatible with the C/C++ standards. I mean we should try to workaround the bugs and make Gnash build with common compilers. I believe we can make it without any significant changes in the source code. Probably a few lines of coding style changes would be enough acoording to my experience. Note that Gnash did compile on Fedora6 for many times(but also failed many times due to the mystery ".gnu.linkonce..." bug). --zou _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
