[wxWorkshop-dev] State of wxWorkshop - Status Part 5

[<wxw...@li...>]

Hello,

Well, progress has been slow this week in making wxWorkshop compile on 
Linux systems.  I am still hammering out the Class 'hidden functions' 
problem with g++.  I have found that the soon to be released g++-4.x 
version will be able to handle it, but the problem is that it will be a 
while before most Linux distributions have included the g++-4.x series 
(g++-4.x will also require some attributes not found in MSVC and BCC, so 
there will need to be some #ifdefs in the future for that).  Currently, 
most up-to-date distributions are running the g++-3.4.x series.

So, for compatibility, and still hoping that the code can stay 
compatible with MSVC++ and BCC, I am rewriting sections of the pmf 
library to unhide those functions so hopefully everyone can build 
wxWorkshop.  Currently, I'm tracking down a problem in the 
lseditor.h/lseditor.cpp where g++ is getting upset at the return value 
from one of these hidden functions.

Once these functions are unhidden, and all of the compilers can see the 
class functions, then everybody should be able to build wxWorkshop, then 
we can look at fixing some more of the problems (as well as getting the 
source code into shape for a distribution package which is sorely needed).

I believe Tod Filer is planning to examine and update the wxWorkshop Web 
Page.

Stay tuned....

I'm doing some CCs this week to some people since I'm not sure they are 
on the development list.  This is a one time copying only.
