IM Kit

would you run `jam -aq` and post the output?

I had started trying to fix GCC4 issues myself some time ago. It seemed mostly to be namespace issues, although there was some other issues flung in there too. I can't really tell from your buildlog exactly what is breaking since it's not showing the lines of what the compilation errors actually were, but it still provides some insight.

I may be able to dive into it this upcoming week, but if one of the main devs has already started work on this, I'll work on other things. I'll still take a look out of curiosity again in a few days though regardless, even if it's just to get an idea of what all is involved.

i try compile imkit on r31217 gcc4 but i have this output:

It has been quite some time since I posted on this matter, but I wanted to give an update. The other week one night, I updated about 80 or so files to be GCC4-compliant. That said, I could have easily broken GCC2 in the process while doing the changes, so I do indeed need to test that. Currently, my main focus is on Haiku's possible incorporation of GCC 4.4.1, but I'd like to continue on this again as early as next week.

Basically, I haven't come upon anything really difficult to figure out so far, as most of the issues are just tedious little things. I stopped messing with it eventually since I needed a break from it. Once I can confirm my current work doesn't bust the GCC2 build, I can certainly attach a patch here. If Pier or anybody else did some additional work in this area, that is fine..at least this gives me some practice. :)

Revision r923 has a partial fix for gcc4, I'm planning to continue improving the build process and completely fix the issue within this month.

Your help is appreciated anyway if you can get your hands on this issue before me remember to update your check out to the latest SVN revision.

Changed priority to High.
