[Plib-users] bug in PLIB/SSG

[dongoodman <de...@Ra...>]

I have downloaded PLIB 1.1.11; i do not know if this bug has been
addressed, so I will mention it anyway.

with VC++ 6.0, when I attempt to compile SSG, VC++ returns four
errors in ssg.SimpleState.cxx:
C:\My Code\Plib\plib-1.1.11\src\ssg\ssgSimpleState.cxx(18) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
C:\My Code\Plib\plib-1.1.11\src\ssg\ssgSimpleState.cxx(19) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
C:\My Code\Plib\plib-1.1.11\src\ssg\ssgSimpleState.cxx(20) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
C:\My Code\Plib\plib-1.1.11\src\ssg\ssgSimpleState.cxx(21) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value

I have fixed these errors by commenting out lines 18,19,20,21 and
adding:
  sgCopyVec4(specular_colour, src -> specular_colour);
  sgCopyVec4(emission_colour, src -> emission_colour);
  sgCopyVec4( ambient_colour, src ->  ambient_colour);
  sgCopyVec4( diffuse_colour, src ->  diffuse_colour);

in thier stead. I can generate a diff file if that would be preferred.

On that note: whenever I try to link against any PLIB static library (again,
in windows), I get a whole lot of undefined symbol linker errors: is there
something with the project files that prevents the libraries from compiling
properly, or is it more likely that I'm just not linking them in to my
project properly?

please use the Reply-To address above to reply to me as I do not subscribe
to this mailing list. Though that may change.

thanks in advance!

have fun
