Yep thats because gcc2.7.2 does not complain about this. I have
recently upgraded to slackware 3.6 which uses the egcs compiler
and I think I have sorted all these out now !!!

Oooops this is a conflict with Qt and the awlib headers. It is fixed in
my latest version.
I think I hacked one of the awelib headers (do grep to find it ?) to get
round this problem I just enclosed
the declaration of debug with #ifndef DEBUG_CONFICT etc.
My latest version does not require this since I have futher decoupled
things.

I will try to get the latest cantor onto my ftp site (watch this
space).
I had a slight hold up when I found GString.h was not with egcs.
I am now using the QT Qstring instead.
