Re: Compiling under IRIX 6.5.x using native cc

Hi,


I found that the problem is actually in "include/internal/ftstream.h"
lines  97 and 125 (in freetype2 beta8).
There is a casting from char* to unsigned short. SGI compilers complain
about such conversion. You have to cast (char*) to (unsigned int) first and
then the (unsigned int) to (unsigned short).
The values are always small enough to fit into the shorts.
