• make error..

    Can anyone riddle me this?

    q3la.cpp:1:1: error: ƒincludeƒ does not name a type
    include "q3la.h"
    ^
    q3la.cpp: In function ƒchar* sortorder_string(int)ƒ:
    q3la.cpp:25:2: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ƒchar*ƒ [-Wwrite-strings]
    };
    ^

    I do not understand... I don't recall having this problem last time I had to compile the Quake III Log Analyser... it throws plenty of warnings, but this seems to be its fatal error :/

    Is there really no "#" in front of "include"?

    Yup, no hash, I looked at it, and tried putting in, it just created more errors. Not sure whats up but I've never seen this before. Doesn't help I don't know anything about C of any flavour. Whatever the cause its a fatal error, there's no binary at the end.

    Is the code available somewhere?

    Hmm. It builds ok on my Mac. There was one issue in `q3la.h`
    where I had to change `#include <iostream.h>` to `#include
    <iostream>`, but I got a binary that seems to run out of it.

    Thats all I had to do to it first time around to get a build out of it. I really don't know whats going on with it this time around though. But it wasn't












































































































































































































































































    14.04LTS x32 I tried to compile against, it would've been 16 or 18... I s'pose I could've mentioned that bit going in, but thought it better you should see it












































































































































































































































































    for yourself.

    I was actually rather surprised; it's certainly archaic C++. It's
    not a particularly big program. It may be fairly straight-forward
    to modernize it.

    Beyond a compile for x32 I don't have a use for it. I s'pose I should check kernel versions. I'd prefer to keep all the QIII operations on the one system.












































































































































































































































































    However someone else might use it.

    PS Kernel its running on is 3.16.0-30-generic

    Thanks for the work, I'll snarf a copy and have a go.

    Thats well beyond me, aside from C I also have no idea what to do at git,
    can rarely get anything out of it either :) So I'll just keep a local
    archive of it.

    YEah, 14 was an LTS version so it hung in there on support for a long time. About 2014 I think.

    But seriously though; I highly recommend upgrading. There are
    undoubtedly a lot of security fixes and other such things you're
    missing.

    Shrug, its only got 2 jobs, one is to run the Quake III Server, I'm using the old x32 linux_pointrelease because the new ones kept shutting down on new systems. So thats its only port open to the outside world. And it doubles down as a terminal server for the apple II's :) No particular security required there.
