Problem during make: Kubuntu, GCC 4.0.0

[GreatBunzinni]

I was trying to install vegastrike from CVS after a previous experience with the loki version, which couldn't run vegastrike --setup (libstdc problem).

So, everything ran smoothly until the make process. Here is the last portion of the make log:

So, what's wrong with this? Is this another CVS error or a problem with my computer?

I haven't tried to compile vs with 4.0.0, but I'm sure your distro keeps at least 3.3 or 3.4 around for compatibility, since 4.0 is so new. It would be strange if 3.4 didn't work.

I can't say why it's giving that error there, since there is a class name in that spot.

Maybe part of the problem is from Boost complaining. You can try downloading the latest Boost version and placing it in the VS source tree as "boost129" but I'm not sure if that would help at all.

Well, I opted for the "easy" way out. I removed GCC 4.0.0 and tried to compile it with GCC 3.4.3. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks anyway

Well, it works. I'm having so much fun playing it that I forgot to post a followup.

Keep up the good work
