Pose 3.5-7+test1 builds and runs. Physical buttons respond to mouse
clicks. Pen events do not work.
This bug has already been identified. It's a mistake in the GCC 3.3
compiler. There are two workarounds.
1) Enable -fno-strict-aliasing when compiling EmPoint.cpp.
2) Apply this patch written by John Marshall, available on sourceforge,
patch 1197981. Changes this line in EmPoint.cpp from...
#define FOR_POINT(cls, size, x, y) \
EmPoint::operator cls() const \
{ size pt[2]; pt[x] = fX; pt[y] = fY; return *(cls*) pt; }
To...
#define FOR_POINT(cls, size, x, y) \
EmPoint::operator cls() const \
{ union {size pt[2]; cls c;} u; \
u.pt[x] = fX; u.pt[y] = fY; return u.c; }
Either solution works. Second one is preferable.
