[bt-devel] gcc 3.2 support - linker issues

[Martin Gruner]

Hello everyone,

it is really nice to see that so much has been going on here in the recent 2 
Months that i was away. I hope that many will actually get involved.

Just spent some time working on Sword and BibleTime. Both _compile_ now for 
gcc 3.2. If sword is built without icu support, one can actually link against 
it and use it. But when icu is utilized the problems start. Testlib.cpp shows 
this clearly: lots of linker errors. The same thing happens when BibleTime is 
supposed to be linked -- pages over pages of errors in linking against QT.
My guess is that this is due to the ABI (application binary interface) change 
from gcc 3.1 to 3.2. Therefore the only thing I can do at the moment is to 
wait until my distribution completely switched to gcc 3.2. Does anybody have 
another idea? Is there away to get it to work?

Thanks for your consideration.

Martin
