[archimedes-discuss] GNU Archimedes fails to build using recent compilers

[Alexander Vogt]

Hello everyone,

I’ve recently tried to compile the source code using both clang and gcc in 
version 7.2, and neither successfully builds using the methods listed in the 
manual.
After a lot of searching around, I changed every „inline“ to „static inline“ in 
every .h-File, and it builds without problems. Using gcc ver. 4.9 that I 
installed on a whim also worked.

I feel like this should maybe be included on the site or in the manual, since I 
was stumped trying to figure out a solution. This may help a few others who 
have problems with the installation process, too. The script I used to make the 
aforementioned changes is "sed -i~ 's/inline/static inline/g' src/*.h“.

I hope this helps. I’ve never made a bug report before.

Many regards,
Alexander Vogt
