[Flightgear-devel] Windows Build Problems

[Jonathan Polley]

With the latest updates to CVS, MSVC is having problems.

c:\flightgear\src\main\location.hxx(96) : error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'float [4][4]' to 'const float (&)[4][4]'
Reason: cannot convert from 'float [4][4]' to 'const float [4][4]'
There is no context in which this conversion is possible

Since the compile dies at this point, I don't know if there are any more hiding in the background.

There are older issues with building under MSVC:

Main/viewer.cxx has a #include <fg_props.hxx> that should be either "fg_props.hxx" or <Main/fg_props.hxx>, which ever you prefer.

Both Network/raw_ctrls.hxx and Network/net_fdm.hxx have static constants defined as a part of their classes. MSVC does not want them to be used to define structures, but will take the enumeration equivalent.


As always, I have no problems with Linux.
