It appears that gcc will not be supporting the use of varargs.h any more. They suggest using stdarg.h. This is fine, I had started to do that in my last patch. However, I am now stuck with the integer version that is patched but I can not compile. I've uploaded it to the fractint directory. Would you please compile it and let me know if it is okay?
Not clear which file you wanted me to compile. I downloaded the latest one in the fractint directly, the xfractint file. It did not compile under Mandrake because of varargs as you said, but it compiled fine under Red Hat, which apparently isn't as aggressive about updating. Didn't work under Fedora. I have the latest official versions of all these distributions.
Is there any need to maintain the ability to use varargs.h? I had not thought of that when I was doing the last patch, but I can fix it if we need to keep the varargs.h code in place.
As long as we can compile both the xfractint and fractint versions with the same sources, I don't see why we need varargs. Tim
