Re: 533: error: syntax error before "void"

Hmmm ... I replied to this and it went to c.l.p.misc - because that's where
the followups were set to go. Not sure that's what the OP intended so I'll
post another copy here.

...and a bunch more like that...


Set-up:

Sun V880
solaris 8
perl v5.6.1
GD-2.32
GD-2.31 tried too.

No Sun compiler, but I am considering installing one and
going back and compiling perl and libs and EVERYthing using Sun C.


Try GD-2.30. It doesn't use those (perl) macros - which are defined in
perl.h on perl 5.8, but apparently missing in perl 5.6.

I'm not sure when they first appeared - probably with 5.8.0. Imho if the
author wants to write code that works only on perl 5.8, he should make that
fact clear - eg by placing code in the Makefile.PL that dies with an
appropriate error message if 5.6 or earlier is used.

Or update to perl 5.8 :-)

Cheers,
Rob
