[apluslist] Compiling A+ - FC3

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I have the same problem with Gentoo Linux, which is using GCC 3.3.5,
while attempting to compile aplus 4.20. Newer versions of GCC are more
pedantic about which deviations from language standards they will
accept, and this appears to be correct behavior. That is, there is
something non-standard about the code. I had the same problem with the
4.18 source. The binary 4.18 i386 tarball does run, though.

Is A+ being actively maintained? The last posting I saw on the Freshmeat
project page is six months ago, and the "News" page is older than that.
Does the developer(s) read this mailing list?
