Doh! Why didn't I think of that?
Anyway, the PPC BeOS error appears to because the compiler is very strict:
### mwcc Compiler Error:
# wvStream_create(in, FILE_STREAM, (wvInternalStream)inner);
# ^
# illegal explicit conversion from 'struct _FILE *' to
# 'union '
#----------------------------------------------------------
File "/boot/home/work/tbscripts/BeOS_4.5_clobber/wv/support.c"; Line 69
#----------------------------------------------------------
### mwcc Compiler Error:
# wvStream_create(in, LIBOLE_STREAM, (wvInternalStream)inner);
# ^
# illegal explicit conversion from 'struct _MsOleStream *' to
# 'union '
#----------------------------------------------------------
File "/boot/home/work/tbscripts/BeOS_4.5_clobber/wv/support.c"; Line 74
#----------------------------------------------------------
I'm casting to a union (which I didn't realise was illegal).
The solution is to change the lines to:
wvInternalStream str;
str.file_stream=inner;
wvStream_create(in, FILE_STREAM, str);
and
wvInternalStream str;
str.libole_stream=inner
wvStream_create(in, LIBOLE_STREAM, str);
respectively. Seems a bit long-winded when a cast would do, but I guess you
have to pay for correctness (or something).
More updates later, when tinderbox finishes it's current builds (or,
hopefully, no updates, because it'll work :-)
Jamie.
