Problems compiling vcdimager.

Hi everyone, I am having problems compiling vcdimager. I tried version 6.2 and 7.11 but in both instances i get the following output:

====
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/vcdimager-0.6.2'
Making all in libvcd
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/vcdimager-0.6.2/libvcd'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wunused -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -c vcd.c
In file included from vcd.c:39:
vcd_files_private.h:364: flexible array member in otherwise empty struct
vcd_files_private.h:446: flexible array member in otherwise empty struct
vcd_files_private.h:467: flexible array member in otherwise empty struct
make[2]: *** [vcd.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/vcdimager-0.6.2/libvcd'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/vcdimager-0.6.2'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

====
The only changes between versions when attempting compile is where the problems with the flexible array member are located. I checked the .h file but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Maybe there is some obscure lib that I am missing? In the .h files I notice other such calls that the compiler does not complain about. Very wierd...never seen this before ... Anybody out there that can offer some assistance?

TIA

possibly an issue with your version of GCC.

get the output of "gcc -v" and check the offical support site for a dedicated developers or users mailing list to post your error message and the gcc -v data.

You could also try upgrading your version (if less that 3) of gcc, or downgrading it (if > 3)

Looking at the ChangeLog the problem was fixed as of version 7.13

* libvcd/: vcd_files_private.h, vcd_types.h: introduced bitfield_t
typedef to workaround alignment issues on some compilers

I got 7.14 to compile no problems with gcc 3.2.3. I think I would rather the unstable version of vcdimager than trying to **** around with the compiler ....

A wise choice
