#13 TR 0.6.4: GCC 5+ can't compile "hiscore1.h"

[Andrei]

The C++11 standard appears to break backwards compatibility with previous standards, by declaring the bool conversion operator for streams as explicit.

This breaks the HiScore1 code in 0.6.4 for GNU GCC versions 5 and above, as exemplified abstractly here.

Attached to this post is a patch for src/include/hiscore1.h that should fix the problem.

$ basename `pwd`
trigger-rally-0.6.4
$ ls
bin  data  doc  hiscore1.h.patch  src
$ patch -p 0 -i hiscore1.h.patch
$ cd src
$ make

EDIT: fixed the patch, added usage information.

[Ferdinand T.]

Should be fixed in 0.6.5 with this commit:

@Ferdinand: indeed this problem was fixed in version 0.6.5, however this ticket is to be kept open for legacy users of 0.6.4 who may need the patch.
