Re: BeOS PPC Compilation Fixes

Now, the real problem. The following code won't be accepted by the MetroWorks compiler:

### mwcc Compiler Error:
# svn_string_t data = { (char *)buf, len, len, fc->pool };
# ^
# illegal constant expression
#----------------------------------------------------------
    File "/boot/home/subversion/subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/fetch.c"; Line 354
#----------------------------------------------------------

The problem appears to be not being able to use variables in this sort of structure initalization. For example, the following code won't compile either:

typedef struct {char *a; char *b;} mystruct;

void foo(char * a, char * b)
{
        mystruct = {a, b}
}

I'm not sure if this is our fault, or the compilers. Is there a good
way to work around this? I couldn't find any pertinent compiler
options.

Thanks
