Yep, i'm doing a cvs co GtkRadiant, you're on the IMap branch currently,
correct?

Not necessary, just me stupidly forgetting about cons :p

Blast it, I read through that before and I totally forgot about cons, you really
should remove the make files from CVS so as not to confuse people :) I remember
reading about cons it's just been a while :p Doh! Doh! Doh!

However, compiling the Alpha branch of Radiant or the current main trunk
with CONS gets me the same error basically:

gcc -g -D_DEBUG `gtk-config --cflags` `xml2-config --cflags`

It looks like xmlstuff.h continues to haunt me :)

Thanks!

Ya, i'm using gcc 2.95.4 although I do have gcc3, but I have to explicity call
it, using gcc-3.0, 'gcc' and 'cc' is symlinked to gcc-2.95.4....

Ah, well I just setup the same defines you had for STL4.1b6 it appears to work
so far.

Heh, gotta hate documentation :)
