Fteqcc bug - can't compile

[C.Brutail]

I'm not sure where to report this, so here you go:

Upon starting Nexuiz:

Code: Select all

======menu ERROR in check_unacceptable_compiler_bugs:
fteqcc bug introduced with revision 3178 detected. Please upgrade fteqcc to a later revision, downgrade fteqcc to revision 3177, or pester Spike until he fixes it. You can set _allow_unacceptable_compiler_bugs 1 to skip this check, but expect stuff to be horribly broken then.

menu EDICT 0:
Menu_Error: menu: Program error in function check_unacceptable_compiler_bugs:

This is the wrong place. Talk to Spike (fteqcc developer)
It's nice that Nexuiz detects the fteqcc bug

Solution:
downgrade to rev 3177
or set _allow_unacceptable_compiler_bugs 1

The problem is that the code base is huge, and over 10 places have already been identified that are affected by this bug. Who knows how more are broken due to the bug.
