Solaris / gcc

[Memfrob]

Has anyone managed to compile Celestia under Solaris with gcc?

I'm getting a rather straightforward error; however, my unfamiliarity with the source is making troubleshooting it rather slow:

Code: Select all

texturefont.cpp: In member function `void
   TextureFont::rebuildGlyphLookupTable()':
texturefont.cpp:209: cannot convert `std::__normal_iterator<const
   TextureFont::Glyph*, std::vector(TextureFont::Glyph,
   std::allocator<TextureFont::Glyph> > >' to `const TextureFont::Glyph*' in
   assignment
make[3]: *** [texturefont.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** Leaving directory /build/celestia-1.2.0/src/celtxf


lines 207-209, FWIW, look like:

Code: Select all

    // Fill the table with glyph pointers
    for (iter = glyphs.begin(); iter != glyphs.end(); iter++)
      glyphLookup[iter->id] = iter;


Ideas? Some of the template-ing seems rather complex in there... perhaps gcc 3.0.1 doesn't like the syntax?

The same code produces errors in Visual Studio .NET, too. I'm pretty sure that the problem is that I'm mistakenly assuming that a container iterator is the same as a pointer to an object in the container. I'll look into this and see what sort of fix I can come up with.
