#524 new incompatible pointer type

[Geiger David]

Hi,

I tried to build new 4.0 release on Mageia Cauldron but it fails with an incompatible pointer type:

Build using gcc16.

[Alexander Leidinger]

gcc16 seems to be more picky than earlier versions. Try to build with <16 or clang for the moment. gcc16 fixes are in the pipeline.

[Debian Package]

Also fail with GCC 15

[lazka]

Also fails with Clang 22.1.8

[Alexander Leidinger]

Fixed in the development tree, will be part of 4.1. Tested with gcc 16.
