Description
Main reason I'm reporting this is that unless you massage some files by hand, this is pretty critical combined with bug #793762. If fixing that is deemed sufficient to fix breakage, by all means feel free to ignore this report ;)
When using at least g++ 2.95.4 to compile scummvm, the sword2 engine will not want to build. This problem doesn't occur in at least g++ 3.0.4. As per scummvm-20030823.tar.bz2 (but also earlier versions) the error is:

2.95.4 is the default 2.95 version in debian I think you'll find that this happens with all versions of 2.95.x
opening as this should not have been closed

Indeed, seems this bug affects GCC 2.95.2, too. It's clearly a compiler bug. Oh and 2.95.4 still is a prerelease build, and not an official GCC release, even if debian ships it... :-)
I put a work around for this compiler bug into CVS - however, I don't think we should spend too much effort on supporting clearly bugged compilers, esp. if better alternatives are easily available (like GCC 3.2 and newer. Don't use 3.0.4, it's bad, too :-)

There are quite a few systems that ship with only 2.95.x for several reasons.
I never said 2.95.4 was not a prerelease version :) As debian runs on something like 11 archs I imagine .4 contains some needed fixes.
Clearly GCC 3. is desirable for C++ code, but I think we should still support 2.95 for a while yet.

BS2 is not a supported engine. If it doesn#t compile for you at this point, just disable it.
In any case, this looks like a compiler bug. Note that the last official release of GCC 2.x was 2.95.3; hence you "2.95.4" must be some kind of prerelease. We can not gurantee compatibility with such software, sorry.
