Compile error on Centos 6.2

[mattebb]

Hi,

I get a strange compile error building partio on centos 6.2. I'm actually building the redpawfx fork, but at a glance, it looks like the issue is not in the forked changes, so I'll post the issue here - please let me know if you'd like me to move the issue to that repo!

Anyway, when building the PDB files, I get a lot of errors similar to this [ 20%] Building CXX object src/lib/CMakeFiles/partio.dir/io/PDB.o cd /home/users/matteb/Downloads/partio/partio.build/src/lib && /usr/bin/c++ -DPARTIO_USE_ZLIB -fPIC -O3 -DNDEBUG -I/home/users/matteb/Downloads/partio/src/lib -Wall -o CMakeFiles/partio.dir/io/PDB.o -c /home/users/matteb/Downloads/partio/src/lib/io/PDB.cpp In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:929, from /home/users/matteb/Downloads/partio/src/lib/io/pdb.h:48, from /home/users/matteb/Downloads/partio/src/lib/io/PDB.cpp:41: /usr/include/bits/stdio.h: In function ‘int PDB::vprintf(const char_, va_list_tag)’: /usr/include/bits/stdio.h:39: error: cannot convert ‘PDB::IO_FILE’ to ‘FILE’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘int PDB::vfprintf(FILE_, const char_, va_list_tag)’ /usr/include/bits/stdio.h: In function ‘int PDB::fgetc_unlocked(FILE)’: /usr/include/bits/stdio.h:56: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct _IO_FILE’ /usr/include/stdio.h:45: error: forward declaration of ‘struct _IO_FILE’ /usr/include/bits/stdio.h:56: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct _IO_FILE’ /usr/include/stdio.h:45: error: forward declaration of ‘struct _IO_FILE’ ...

I'm not an expert with C++ build issues, but I noticed it was looking at PDB::fgetc, which seems like it's putting the standard library stuff in the PDB namespace. I edited PDB.cpp and removed the: namespace PDB from around: #include "pdb.h"

and put the namespace PDB in pdb.h directly, after

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>

This now compiles correctly.

Is this a genuine bug? Or maybe a mis-configuration on this system?

cheers
