[openglean-devel]OpenGLEAN 0.4.1 and GCC 4.0.1

[Richard R. <sf...@ol...>]

Oh, one of the things that 0.4.1 includes is resolution of some
minor warnings under GCC 4.0.1.  Given the messy things that freeglut
was doing to get around their problems with GCC 4.x, I expected to
spend a bit of time fixing things.

My concerns were groundless.  OpenGLEAN had a few issues with GCC
4.0.1, but by and large it compiled smoothely.  I think that the
main issues were signed/unsigned botches.

I also found a few problems with 32-bit/64-bit potential problems
and fixed those.  (Note that OpenGLEAN is primarily maintained on
an AMD64 system, while still getting fairly frequent builds on a
32-bit i386 system or few...plus its herritage of OpenGLUT and
freeglut have given it a well-tested 32-bit foundation.  I'm not
sure that I've ever seen a genuine 32-bit/64-bit misbehavior in
running freeglut/OpenGLUT/OpenGLEAN code.  But it's good to eliminate
the little potential buglets before they get bigger and bite you
hard...)
