problems compiling wxTreeListCtrl with GCC 4.x

[opened on behalf of Max Jonathan Spaulding]

Hello Ronan,

I am not sure if you check the wxCode users list.

I had some problems compiling the latest wxTreeListCtrl with GCC 4.4.0 and a
mingw cross compiler also 4.4.0 on Fedora Linux 11.

I sent this to the wxCode mailing list. The patches fix most everything.

I have to patches that fix most of my problems

I still get a bunch of warnings from bitmaps/file.xpm

bitmaps/file.xpm:38: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to
‘char*’

and for some reason on Fedora 11 gcc 4.4.0 the makefile in samples/treelisttest
thinks it should run windres.

make
windres `wx-config --cppflags -rescomp` -i treelisttest.rc -J rc -o
treelisttest.res -O coff
/bin/sh: windres: command not found
make: *** [treelisttest.res] Error 127

Don't think I am going to bother looking at either of them as all I need is
the treelistctrl.cpp to compile and link and I think the patch takes care of
that. Added some typecasts that were missing and through _T() around some
bare quotes.
