Build fails on Solaris 10 due to void* used to initialize char*

[klabattermann]

The build on Solaris 10 is failing in:
[ 4%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/XrdUtils.dir/XrdSys/XrdSysLogging.cc.o
"/zpool1/wilko/tmp/xrdbuild/v45/src/XrdSys/XrdSysLogging.cc", line 161:
Error: Cannot use void* to initialize char*.
1 Error(s) detected.
gmake[2]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/XrdUtils.dir/XrdSys/XrdSysLogging.cc.o] Error 2

The compiler used is Sun C 5.11 SunOS_i386 2010/08/13. It is failing in all v4 releases. It is not critical for us as we are phasing out all of our Solaris servers and running older versions is fine.
I am wondering if this is something easy to fix or a problem that the platform and compiler are pretty old.

Yes, it should have been "char*" and will work just fine everywhere.

This has been fixed in 4.6.

Hello Andy Looks like it has been fixed. I just checked the Solaris x86 4.7.0 build and it didn't fail in XrdSys/XrdSysLogging.cc.o. However it failed later on: CC: Warning: Option -std=c++0x passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise Linking CXX shared library libXrdUtils.so CC: Warning: Option -std=c++0x passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise ld: fatal: option -d has illegal argument '=c++0x' Cheers, Wilko
