[ggt-devel] GMTL compile errors with VC7

[Patrick H. <pa...@vr...>]

I have had to make some changes to GMTL to get Gadgeteer compiling with 
VC7.  I don't think they are too nasty, but I thought they should be 
reviewed before being committed.  The first attached file contains the 
diffs made against the latest GMTL.

Even with those changes, I have run into some other problems compiling 
code that uses GMTL.  The second attached file contains a diff I made 
against a Gadgeteer file (gadget/Devices/Sim/SimPosition.cpp and 
gadget/Type/Glove.cpp).  The compiler couldn't determine the second 
template parameter to gmtl::makeTrans<gmtl::Matrix44f>(), so I added it 
in manually.  I'm not sure if this is the best solution, but the code 
does compile.  Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Finally, I've run into a problem I haven't figured out how to fix.  Again 
compiling Gadgeteer, VC7 generates a bunch of problems regarding the use 
of gmtl::xform in gadget/Type/Glove.cpp.  The error output is the third 
attachment.  I have no idea how to fix this, but once that file compiles, 
all of Gadgeteer will compile on Win32.  :)
