64 bit compiling issues
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2008 9:27 pm
qcad will not build on 64 bit gcc. The issue is that the 'int' is 32 bits but the pointer is 64 bits. When the 64 bit 'int*' pointer is dereferenced to the 32 bit 'int' the compiler dies with this error message:
"engine/rs_layer.cpp:58: error: cast from ‘const RS_Layer*’ to ‘int’ loses precision"
I've read that this can be fixed by changing all the offending 'int' occurrences to 'long' instead.
If anyone has any better ideas let me know.
