flowcanvas failed to build from source with gcc4.4

[Eric Hedekar]

as can be seen here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36472094/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.flowcanvas_0.5.1-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
the following error is produced when building flowcanvas on gcc4.4

looks like
#include <stdint.h>
needs to be added to
flowcanvas/Connection.hpp

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

As Connection.hpp indicates to be a C++ header file, wouldn't it be better to use "#include <cstdint>"?

[Niall Creech (sevenmachines-deactivatedaccount)]

your absolutely right Michael but with <cstdint>

error: #error This file requires compiler and library support for the upcoming ISO C++ standard, C++0x. This support is currently experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x compiler options.

so i suppose its a decision whether to enable the new c++0x stuff or go with <stdint.h>, i'd probably just go with <stdint.h>

[Niall Creech (sevenmachines-deactivatedaccount)]

The authors svn version contains <stdint.h> so i guess thats the way to go

[Eric Hedekar (stochastic)]

I discussed this with upstream and they claim "a fix for that was committed to svn ages ago" and furthermore, that he'll "do a release very soon to fix this". I'm happy to update the package when that occurs (and/or write a patch should the new release take too long).

Fixed in flowcanvas 0.5.1-1ubuntu1.
