Somehow I seem to keep running into these baffling problems! I just picked up patch r42441 and decided I might as well do a hybrid build, so I'd have a nicely updated image. The gcc2-build part went through fine (so I have the libtracker.so I needed), but when it went to the gcc4 part, it died: C++ /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/generated.x86gcc4/objects/haiku/x86/release/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.o /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:159:14: error: null character(s) ignored /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp: In function 'filter_result BPrivate::ActivateWindowFilter(BMessage*, BHandler**, BMessageFilter*)': /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:159: error: 'class BView' has no member named 'Wi' /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:159: error: expected ')' before 'lse' /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:164: error: expected primary-expression before '}' token /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:164: error: expected ';' before '}' token cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:164: error: no return statement in function returning non-void /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp: At global scope: /BFS_User/haiku/haiku/src/kits/tracker/ContainerWindow.cpp:351: error: expected '}' at end of input ... everything seeming to follow from that "null character". However, I scanned the file for a null, even did od -c and looked at the line in question. There *is* no null character! Even odder, the patch was a minor one to r42415 (and in fact didn't change anything near that line) which built perfectly succesfully last week! I tried copying the file, in case there was a filesystem glitch or something, but it made no difference, and the file reads with no problem. Any clues? -- Pete --
