Unable to compile scinterm

[eda2z]

I am on the latest Arch linux and followed your instructions for building scinterm. All of the lexers compiled cleanly but when it got to ScintillaCurses.cxx, the following error occurred:

ScintillaCurses.cxx: In constructor ‘ScintillaCurses::ScintillaCurses(void ()(void, int, SCNotification*, void*), void*)’:
ScintillaCurses.cxx:973:31: error: invalid conversion from ‘void ()(Scintilla::Surface, Scintilla::PRectangle, int, const Scintilla::ViewStyle&)’ to ‘Scintilla::DrawTabArrowFn’ {aka ‘void ()(Scintilla::Surface, Scintilla::PRectangle, int)’} [-fpermissive]
973 | view.customDrawTabArrow = DrawTabArrow; // draw text arrows for tabs
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
| |
| void ()(Scintilla::Surface, Scintilla::PRectangle, int, const Scintilla::ViewStyle&)
make: *** [Makefile:35: ScintillaCurses.o] Error 1

I know next to nothing about C++. Any ideas? Thanks.

The most recent revisions of Scinterm require a patch to Scintilla that was submitted upstream. Until the patch is accepted and there is a release that contains it, you can either apply this patch to Scintilla: #3 (comment), or you can use the most recent commit without the need for the patch: https://github.com/orbitalquark/scinterm/tree/1d14cbdb65435bcb64899d619b6299fb15b5130c
