After I submitted yesterday another ~1 page list with (harmless) warnings arising during the compilation with gcc-4.1.0, Toti has indeed completed the heroic task to reduce ~70-80 warnings to ZERO!

So, for a little while at least, people compiling from CVS can do so without encountering ANY warnings....This happens for the first time as far as I can remember.

Many thanks, Toti,

Since few days ago, I can't update the CVS files. When I try to update the code files on my HD, I get some error warning and the server disconnect after scanning the "Tools" folder in the CVS hierarchy. I don't know why. Any idea ?

No, sorry. I just updated from CVS as every night without the slightest problems. But you may always start with an entirely new download, which doesn't take a long time these days.

Fridger,

Thank you for the recognition

I was using gcc 4.0, and I heard 4.1 was even a little stricter (which is good). After your warning report, I compiled the newest prerelease (4.1.2) A few more fixes are in CVS as you noted.

There are 3-4 warnings still present, though. I'll fix them ASAP.

Yep, Indeed, good job Toti and Tx a lot, on osX there is still a few ones but nothing compared to the approx 70 ones a few months ago!

Ok, I redownloaded all the CVS files from scratch, and the compilation went fine. I had 83 warnings, however. Maybe the OS X version needs an update ?

Also, the cloud shadows aren't working (of course, I'm using OpenGL 2.0). Are the shadows still broken ?

Not sure about the warnings, but cloud shadows are working for me. Try toggling on/off the Cloud Shadows checkbox (which I added recently to the preferences panel). You'll notice a difference.

That's what I've done (the checkbox), but it gives me scrap. No shadows, and a VERY slow screen redraw with a deep blue ocean on Earth.

Strange, yesterday I get perhaps 4 warnings...

For whatever reason, it has been noticed by several people that sometimes you need to delete your cvs development directories and download fresh copies of everything to get a clean build.

El Christou,

You are welcome. It wouldn't really be that bad if they were only 70-80 warnings. The problem is they are multiplied by file inclusion, which makes things go overboard quickly: a total of ~800 cases! (as reported by grep)

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Mac, so I can do nothing there.

Hi. 23 warnings in Windows, using the MS toolkit. Much less than before.
