ptrdiff_t does not name a type

[suntaa]

Hello,

trying to compile showeg 5.13.10.3 on ubuntu (11.10) but make fails.

./configure looks good

but make after that fails with /usr/include/qt3/qvaluevector.h:247:13: error: ‘ptrdiff_t’ does not name a type
complete make output here http://pastebin.com/NND994bx

any clues?

What version of gcc? Maybe your qt3 headers are out of date?

Anyone found a solution to this? im getting the same error, Ubuntu 11.10, GCC is version 4.6.1

Thanks

same problem here on ubuntu11.10 with libqt3-compat-headers 3:3.3.8-b-8ubuntu3
gcc is 4.6.1

cannot find more recent version like purple recommended²

cannot compile without that package


latest seq-release 5.3.10-4 compiles fine on ubuntu8.04 with same libqt3-headers



any hint?

Here's a quick solution:

sudo vi /usr/include/qt3/qvaluevector.h

Under

#include "qdatastream.h"

Add this line:

#include <cstddef>

Looks like it is a gcc 4.6 problem from what I see. I went ahead and got a copy of ubuntu 11.10 installed on my system to see what was going on. Good grief hated the new ubuntu unity interface first time saw it.

In your showeq source files, src/message.h

right after where you find:

#include <stdint.h>

add this:

#include <cstddef>

This should fix your problem. That way you stay out of the qt3 header files.
