I've committed made four small ANSI C++ fixes to the CVS to allow FlightGear to compile with G++ 3.0.3. I'd appreciate it if porters could confirm that the changes don't break any legacy compilers.
I think it's generally a good thing for developers to use G++ 3.x, since it is very picky about ANSI C++ conformance and will catch errors that might trip up ports to other platforms (such as sloppy use of the std:: namespace). The downside is that G++ 3.x uses different C++ name mangling than G++ 2.95, so you have to recompile any C++ (but not C) libraries you're using. To ensure that you're using G** 3.x, set the CC and CXX environment variables in you ~/.bash_profile (or wherever): export CC=gcc-3.0 export CXX=gxx-3.0 Do that *before* you run configure. For FlightGear, you have to recompile plib, Metakit, and SimGear (in more-or-less that order) before you recompile FlightGear. Do at least a make clean; rm -f config.cache; configure on each one first (making sure that CC and CXX are set as above first).
