[Nel] Compilation problem with nel/src/3d/driver.h

[Alexandre Courbot]

Hello NeL staff,

I've tried to compile the NeL CVS tree and got the following error:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../include -I../../../../src
-I/usr/include/stlport -O3 -Wno-multichar -D_REENTRANT
-I/usr/X11R6/include -Wp,-MD,.deps/driver_opengl.pp -c driver_opengl.cpp
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/driver_opengl.lo
In file included from driver_opengl.h:51,
                 from driver_opengl.cpp:48:
../../../../src/3d/driver.h:633: parse error before `0L'
../../../../src/3d/driver.h:648: missing ';' before right brace
../../../../src/3d/driver.h:662: virtual outside class declaration
<followed by lots of errors>

The part that caused this error is:

nel/src/3d/driver.h:

        enum TMatrix
        { 
line 633:       None=0,
                ModelView,
                Projection,
                Texture,
                Color,

The problem come from the 'None' word. I don't know exactly why (maybe
it has been #defined to 0L somewhere?) but the compilation succeed when
I changed 'None' to something else. As this part of the code is the same
since quite a few time and probably works for you, I suspect something
in the include files of my libs. Here's my configuration:

-libxml 2.4.5
-libstlport 4.1beta6
-xfree 4.1.0
-python 1.5.2
-openAL 0.2001061600
-freetype2 1.3.1
-gcc 2.95.4

It's probably that the 'None' keyword is defined somewhere in my include
files. Unfortunately I don't exactly know how I could find out where it
is defined, but if someone give me the guidelines, I'd be glad to do.

By the way, is there a data package that is suitable for testing with
the CVS code? I'd be glad to have a look at Snowballs, but unfortunately
the release versions didn't work with me, and I guess that they are now
obsolete.

Anyway, keep on the good work! ;)
Alex.
