[persquare]

hi, while trying to compile a large chunk of code I ran into this problem which left me clueless... Does anybody know the cause and/or a fix/workaround?
/P


[~/Octave/liboctave] % gnumake
c++ -c -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc -I../glob -I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall Array-C.cc

gnumake: *** [Array-C.o] Error 1

gnumake CXXFLAGS='-O2 -Wall' etc. returns the same result.

This most commonly happes if you try to compile code which has static variables used within a class method. Move the static variable up to class scope rather than function scope and see if this fixes your problem.
