Re: flexfax: Compile errors: hylafax-v4.0pl2, Solaris 2.6, SPARC, gcc 2.8.1

[Robert Colquhoun <rjc@trump.net.au>]

Hi Paul,

There's a whole bunch of these within hylafax - sort of old C++ standard,
which hylafax follows versus new C++ standard which gcc 2.8 and upwards
follows.

There's a patch here for this http://www.trump.net.au/~rjc/hylafax/
