[BUG & FIX] Compiling 0.7.5 with GCC 4.6.0 ptrdiff_t

[KishukuOni]

I just upgraded to GCC 4.6.0 and ran into this issue when compiling CEGUI 0.7.5.
This may be in other versions, but I don't know.
The compiler error was:

Code: Select all

../../cegui/include/CEGUIString.h:68:11: error: 'ptrdiff_t' does not name a type

It seems GNU moved some header includes around at some point.
Anyway, all I did to fix it was to add #include <cstddef> to the list of included headers in CEGUIString.h

This is pretty simple but just wanted to post this in case anyone else ran into the same problem.

Thanks for the heads up. I will make sure it's addressed

I just encountered this same error - ubuntu 11.10 using cegui 0.7.5

cd ~/src/CEGUI-0.7.5/
./configure --with-gtk2 --with-boost-python
make
...
In file included from ../../cegui/include/CEGUIAffector.h:33:0,
from CEGUIAffector.cpp:30:

I can confirm your fix worked for me as well. Thanks KishukuOni
