I am compiling openDX myself, earlier on 4.10 and now on 5.3.

I have tried to compile CVS (also as of today), but that has been failing
for a while already. This is the problem:

  [...]
  ColormapEditor.C: In member function `virtual void
ColormapEditor::createMenus(_WidgetRec*)':
  ColormapEditor.C:1045: error: 'class ColormapEditor' has no member named
'createExecuteMenu'
  ColormapEditor.C: In member function `virtual void
ColormapEditor::createHelpMenu(_WidgetRec*)':
  ColormapEditor.C:1062: error: 'class ColormapEditor' has no member named
'createHelpMenu'
  gmake[4]: *** [ColormapEditor.o] Error 1

The memberfunctions createHelpMenu, createExecuteMenu, and createConnectionMenu
are commented out in DXWindow.h. Is that the reason for this compile bug?

System info:
  FreeBSD 5.3
  gcc version 3.4.2

Regards,
Rob.
