Hi,
I am trying to compile the watt-32 library with digital mars. I got only 4 files
that wasn't compiled by digital mars. I was unable to fix the compilation errror
and think now that it is an issue with de digital mars compiler.

Here is the error ouput of the first file:

c:\djgpp\bin\dmc -ml -a2 -I. -I..\inc -IC:\dm\include -W -fno-strength-reduce -f
fast-math  -o digmars/misc.o -c misc.c
misc.c:
((int(far *)(void const const *, void const const *))list_compare));
^
misc.c(463) : Error: need explicit cast for function parameter 4 to get
from: int (*far C func)(void *,void *)
to  : int (*far C func)(void const *,void const *)
--- errorlevel 1
make.exe: *** [digmars/misc.o] Error 1

C:\net\watt\src>

The cast is exactly as requested by the compiler. I try all sort of variation and I am unable to please digital mars. I feel that digital mars have some difficulty with the "const" keyword.

I got similar error with 3 other files.

thank you

Benoit

I believe the compiler is correct. You can fix the problem in the code by using a cast.
