please forgive me if i’m rehashing something that as already been covered
and addressed, but i’m both new to SDL and revisiting C/C++ after a long
soujourn with Java.
what i’m aiming to do is compile a C++ application with [-mno-cygwin].
unforunately, this results in the following error:
/usr/local/include/SDL/SDL_audio.h:97: error: parse error before `[’ token
it is one that is easily reproducable, as follows:
$ g++ -I/usr/local/include/SDL -c loopwave.c -mno-cygwin
In file included from /usr/local/include/SDL/SDL.h:39,
from loopwave.c:12:
/usr/local/include/SDL/SDL_audio.h:97: error: parse error before `[’ token
without the -mno-cygwin option the compilation completes successfully:
marc at marcd /home/marc/wip
$ g++ -I/usr/local/include/SDL -c loopwave.c
marc at marcd /home/marc/wip
googling for this error (is there an easy way to search the mail archive?)
led me to a posting reporting the same error, and a response from mr.

Just remove SDLCALL from that line. It’s a parser bug in gcc.
Really ? IIRC __cdecl it just comes with #include <windows.h> in mingw.
Maybe it should just be fixed in begin_code.h
The bug is in the parsing of the declaration of an array of function pointers
in conjunction with SDLCALL.
See ya!

i assume that this means there’s a bug in the g++ parser, but is there any
workaround? can i achieve a C++ build using -mno-cygwin?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
