Topic: Compiling Laserboy on OSX 10.9

[c60]

Hi James,

  I followed the instructions for installing on osx 10.8 but the compilation fails with this error.

Code: [Select]

In file included from ./LaserBoy_space.hpp:34:
./LaserBoy_frame_set.hpp:259:38: error: parameter of overloaded 'operator++' cannot have a default argument
    LaserBoy_frame& operator ++ (int = 0) //post
                                     ^
./LaserBoy_frame_set.hpp:272:38: error: parameter of overloaded 'operator--' cannot have a default argument
    LaserBoy_frame& operator -- (int = 0) // post

Any ideas?

That's really weird! That is a standard part of the definition of C++ to overload the increment and decrement operators. That's how the compiler knows if you mean pre or post increment or decrement. In other words, are you defining

++object //pre increment
or
object++ //post increment

?

This can't be an OSX thing.... It must be a GNU GCC thing!

James.

Hi there,

A solution for this problem is to manually modify LaserBoy_space.hpp lines 259 and 272 : change int = 0 by int

You should have :

LaserBoy_frame& operator ++ (int) //post

LaserBoy_frame& operator -- (int) // post
