[Flightgear-devel] Problems solved!
AAARGH! After five days of searching for what the hell was going on I discovered mk4.h contains: #define bool int One lousy line ruining your life! Yuck. If you get all sorts of strange error messages, you have to remove that line. Erik :( ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

The 2.4.2-32 version which is supplied by SimGear doesn't compiler properly. I vote for using David's plain text sulution (at least for now).

I don't recall David's solution. It seems to me that we're only using MK for doing simple record lookups in basic tables (no joins) with a match on one string or a number range. With that being the case, why can't we use a simple text format store ? As far as doing quick searches, I'd rather have the indexes compiled into the table as character offsets that define a balanced binary tree. It's easy to generate, and to ignore when doing non-indexed searches. The default file is only 50k records, requiring 16 record fetches for an arbitrary search. I would expect those blocks to reside in cache. People with lots of memory are welcome to use 4MB to store the data. Of course, a side effect would be that someone would have to rewrite a lot of code in the src/Airports directory to use the other library. Since that wouldn't be me, I don't see that as a significant problem 8-). ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I expect a package to work after downloading it from the main site, but instead it gives one headakes.
