Re: [ggt-devel] Xforms and HP UX

[Patrick H. <pa...@13...>]

Well, looking at the code, I don't quite see how any compiler is able to 
figure out which instantiation of gmtl::xform() is supposed to be 
used--unless the compilers are relying on the ordering of the function 
declarations.

Is it possible for you to try a newer version of GMTL?  I see on the 
SourceForge project page, version 0.2.1 is the latest download.  It may 
be that this problem was fixed with a newer version.  I know that I did 
some reordering of functions to fix errors with more strict compilers 
(e.g., GCC 3.4).

If trying a different version of GMTL is not an option for you, have you 
tried modifying the code to help out aCC?  It looks as though some manual 
disambiguation is necessary.  My guess is that if you change line 236 of 
Xforms.h to the following:

    return xform<DATA_TYPE, ROWS, COLS>(temporary, matrix, point);

you'll be able to get it to compile with aCC.
