Ok I found a workaround for this one. Apparently it is a GCC version incompatibility both for the svn version and the standard release (currently 0.8.2). It can be solved by adding one line to one source code file for the svn version and 5-6 source code files for the 0.8.2 release. Check this thread out:
http://www.netpanzer.org/forum/index.php?topic=256.0
the part that you actually need is this:
You might be using netpanzer 0.8.2 source in newer gcc, if that is the case you would need to modify some files in order to compile:
- If error is with 'sort': add "#include <algorithm>" on top of that file
- If error is with 'auto_ptr': add "#include <memory>" on top of that file
Check out the errors from your console, access the file in which each error occured and add one line to the top of the file according to the quoted "rules"!
NOTE: If you're using a PKGBUILD don't forget to add the -e option to makepkg to skip uncompressing the source from the tar package or else the changes you will have made will be overwritten.
