GRASS 5.0beta2

[David Wheatley]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the new Grass5 beta2 on SGI Octane (R10000) using the
supplied MIPS C compiler. I'm getting a few errors, but the most significant
seems to be a problem with casting. It means that the display device library and
r.mapcalc (among others) won't compile. Nobody else has reported this, so the
sun and gcc compilers must think it's OK, I guess.

Anybody have any ideas (apart from 'use gcc' ...)

I get a similar complaint about src/paint/Interface:

> cc -O2 all -I.. -DPAINT_DRIVERLIB -I/home/grass5.0beta/src/include  -c interface.c

>         (char *)buf += i;
>         ^

and r.mapcalc:

> cc -O2 -woff all  -I/home/grass5.0beta/src/include  -c maps.c
> "maps.c", line 336: error(1133): expression must be a modifiable lvalue
>                   (char *)values = vbuf, sizeof(vbuf));
>                   ^
