Hello,
Had problem to build r1.52 on SUN/Solaris (SunOS 5.11 11.3 sunv4 sparc), got error (shortened as build on another machine with restrictions) as below:
…/build $ cmake ..
…
[ 84% ] Building CXX object tools/CMakefiles/GeodSolve.dir/GeodSolve.cpp.o
In file included from /usr/include/wctype.h:12:0,
…
…/tools/GeodSolve.cpp:12:
…/include/GeographicLib/GeodesicLineExact.hpp:46:33: error expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
_A4, …, _E1, …
^
. ### Found that file wctype.h includes file iso/wctype_iso.h which contains definition “for character class” with first line as below:
. #define _E1 0x00000100 / phonogram (international use) /
=> My solution was to modify: _E1 to __E1 in files …/include/GeographicLib/GeodesicLineExact.hpp and s…/src/GeodesicLineExact.cpp
PS.
Thanks for good work;)

are "reserved", see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/identifiers
My fix was to change
_E1to_eE1. That's better than using__E1. I recommend you do the same as me in case Sun decides to use__E1for something.Thanks for quick answer;)
