So I'm trying to compile the 1.33 source on Debian amd64 with GCC 4.5. It compiles fine all the way up to vavoom-dedicated.bin. And then once it gets to "Generating ../../basev/common/progs/engine.dat", then it has problems. Here's the output af

OK so I think I found out where the problem is. It's somewhere inside vcc. Valgrind shows this trace at the first error message:

==17454== Command: ../../utils/vcc/../bin/vcc -P/home/jb/games/vavoom-1.33/bas

So I tried building r4431 with make -d. Here's what I got for engine.dat:

       Finished prerequisites of target file `basev/common/progs/engine.dat'.
      Must remake target `basev/common/progs/engine.dat'.

Sure would be nice to know what program these PIDs correspond to...

The error is in this line in build.make:

cd /home/BondEar/games/vavoom-svn/progs/common && ../../utils/vcc/../bin/vcc -P/home/BondEar/games/vavoom-svn/basev/common/progs /home/BondEar/games/vavoom-svn/progs/common/engine/classes.vc /home/BondEar/games/vavoom-svn/basev/common/progs/engine.dat

The cd works. The problem is with vcc. Also why does vcc have this line in its main method?

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	try
	{
		GLog.AddListener(&VccLog);

		int starttime;
		int endtime;

		M_InitByteOrder();

		signal(SIGSEGV, SignalHandler); //why?

I did try commenting it out, but it still segfaults. Alright, so I built vcc, and used it to run the command given in build.make (where vcc compiles engine.dat). Valgrind gives this:

EDIT: Success, sort of. Commenting out vc_parser.cpp:1126 allowed make to finish. However when I run Vavoom it gives me "Sys_Error: Bad class size".
