Hi All !
An older version (2003) of the compiler works ok.
I do try compile of "nether earth remake" at new sdk-20160122 and sdk-20150619
and i see :

g++ -O3 -noixemul -c nether.cpp -o nether.o
In file included from nether.cpp:15:
list.h:68: `List' is not a template type
list.h:68: redefinition of `struct List'
/gg/os-include/exec/lists.h:24: previous definition here
list.h:70: non-template type `List' used as a template
list.h:70: ANSI C++ forbids declaration `' with no type
list.h:70: abstract declarator `int ()()' used as declaration
list.h:71: non-template type `List' used as a template
list.h:71: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
make: *** [nether.o] Error 1

list.h :

68 template <class T> class List {
69 public:
70 List<T>() {list=0;act=0;top=0;original=true;};
71 ~List<T>() {
72 if (original) {
73 delete list;
74 } /* if */
75 };
76 List<T>(List<T> &l) {list=l.list;act=list;top=l.top;original=false;};

Quote:

This is an include issue, and probably not a compiler issue, so I suppose you mean older version of the SDK...

I'm guessing the problem is that some include (GL/SDL/?) is now including exec/lists.h containing struct List which directly conflicts with the List class in list.h.

The easiest fix is probably to redefine List in list.h.

Hi CISC !

I tried different versions that I had and here's the result:
SDK2.7 (20110916) - compile OK
SDK3.2 (20130129) - compile OK
SDK3.5 (20140508) & newer - compile error
i did replace the list.h of any version - the result is the same (the same files).
I had a break in programming at age 6, please tell me how "to redefine List in list.h."

You have two choices: either rename your list class to something else (e.g. MyList) or let the preprocessor do it for you, by adding this line to the beginnig of your list.h:
Code:
If you choose the latter, make sure to include your list.h after the system headers, or you'll end up redefining List in the system headers too.
