What were you trying to do?
Trying to compile a c++ program that includes Xlib.h and Xutil.h.
I'm using c++ out of the gnu locker (2.95).
What's wrong:
I get lots of errors like:
/usr/openwin/include/X11/Xutil.h:903: ANSI C++ forbids declaration `XXorRegion' with no type
What should have happened:
The openwin include files should have types instead of assuming
one. XFree appears to. I don't believe there's a compiler flag to
tell g++ to be more lenient about this, or at least I couldn't find
it. The version of egcs in the egcs locker seems to allow it through,
after complaints.
