Bugs/Issues

I've built this for the first time and noticed a couple of issues.

The zip and tar are not the same. I tried to build using the zip under fedora core 5. I couldn't get it to work. I tried autoconf and it failed to generate the configure file.

On line 201 of opengltexture.h, there this a class qualifer when there shouldn't be one. GCC 4.1 is more strict in following the C++ standard. This is not proper.

I believe this was fixed some time ago and is in svn

also under linux please make use of tar.gz they are made with the make dist command and have been tested a lot more than .zip intended toward Win32

Thanks for the responses. I searched the mantis page for the bug originally. I didn't use sourceforge to check. If it's in Mantis then I probably overlooked it there.

If I go to sourceforge directly, there's nothing there to indicate that there is a difference between the tar.bz2 and the zip. They have the same name. It would be helpful to label them differently to minimize confusion.

I don't know how difficult it is to generate the two archive files, but it would be nice to choose either one and have it work on all platforms. A piece of software I'm using is cross platform, which means that I have to download both since I work on both platforms.

Thanks for the information and help.

the problem with only providing one package is that windows and unix use different line endings. It's nice to have your native lineendings imo.

This also messes up autoconf which needs unix style (IIRC)
