Re: [ggt-devel] GMTL compile errors with VC7

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

Okay, compiling the GMTL test suite on Win32 gives exactly the same 
errors I was getting with Gadgeteer.  These are the errors that prompted 
the patches I mailed out earlier.  With gmtl::makeTrans(), the error is:

d:\VR\juggler\cygwin\cygwin\home\administrator\patrick\GGT\modules\GMTL\Test\TestSuite\TestCases\MatrixGenTest.cpp(57) 
: error C2784: 'VEC_TYPE gmtl::makeTrans(const gmtl::Matrix<DATA_TYPE,,> 
&,gmtl::Type2Type<VEC_TYPE>)' : could not deduce template argument for 
'const gmtl::Matrix<ROWS,,> &' from 'gmtl::Vec<DATA_TYPE,SIZE>'
         with
         [
             DATA_TYPE=float,
             SIZE=2
         ]

This error occurs multiple times when compiling MatrixGenTest.cpp.
