Description quik 2001-11-09 02:30:01 UTC

While trying to compile a C++ file, I recieved the following error, indicating that perhaps some system header files need to be modified so they will tolerate the new gcc:

/usr/include/runetype.h:56: redeclaration of C++ built-in type `wchar_t'

Fix: 

Well, a woekaround would be to use gcc 2.9.5 but ideally, we would find a way od not declaring this type if it is already defined.
Perhaps an IFDEF...
How-To-Repeat: I tried to build the QT23 port & this fails very quickly.

I found the same problem in these 2 additional files:
/usr/include/stdlib.h
/usr/include/stddef.h
After commenting out the line with the typedef, everything seems to be
compiling OK.

As far as I know (I originally experienced the same bug) this has been 
fixed by now.  Can you confirm this?

I'll try to handle this.

Unfortunately, I no longer run FreeBSD so I am unable to verify this for you. 
However, I am fairly certain that this bug would have been fixed by now. 
I know I am able to build QT2.3 on Linux at any rate, using gcc-3.2.1

Resolved by fixes to our header files, such as stdlib 1.37 and stddef 1.7, 
which were backported to -STABLE.
