Description d.binderman 2004-01-25 13:41:40 UTC

Description of problem:

I just tried to compile package ghostscript-7.07-11, from Redhat
Fedora Core 1.

The compiler said

1.

./src/gdevesmv.c(1531): error #137: expression must be a modifiable lvalue
      pdev->current_color = color;

but, earlier in the file is

    gx_device_esmv const        *pdev = (gx_device_esmv *) dev;

which means that what pdev is pointing at is read-only.
Suspect possible mixup with const. Maybe

    gx_device_esmv * const pdev = (gx_device_esmv *) dev;

would shut up the compiler.

Fixed in CVS; next build (after 7.07-18) will fix it.
