Hello again,

I try compilation openlierox 0.58_rc3 and :

This error fixed after change the curl header curl/types.h ---> curl/typecheck-gcc.h in HTTP.h file.
but I also the same error in file HTTP.cpp not corrected in the same way.
compilation crash at 68% :

Hm, that is GCC 4.8.2? What is your Curl version? Do I understand you correctly that after you changed those two include files, it works?

That is of course not the correct solution for us because we need a solution which works everywhere. Someone should check the Curl docs about the correct include. Also someone should check out why curl/types.h fails. It might be easy to work around that.

Apparently the header was removed from new CURL versions and will not be reinstated: http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1020/

The bug discussion mentions that "the header was blanked out almost 7 years ago". Shouldn't just removing the include work?

ooopss Works !!! Thanks again !!!

SOLVED

This should be fixed first.
