It seems like every source file generates 30 to 50 warning messages.  Is this
normal during make?

"isosurf.cpp", line 841: Warning: String literal converted to char* in formal
argument format in call to WarningAt(unsigned, char*, long, char*, ...).
"isosurf.cpp", line 851: Warning: String literal converted to char* in formal
argument format in call to Debug_Info(char*, ...).
"isosurf.cpp", line 865: Warning: String literal converted to char* in formal
argument file in call to pov_free(void*, char*, int).
"isosurf.cpp", line 869: Warning: String literal converted to char* in formal
argument file in call to pov_free(void*, char*, int).
14 Warning(s) detected.

This happens pretty much with every source file.

Dennis

  It is normal for the compiler to warn about those.
  And actually the compiler is right. IIRC this was corrected in
the 3.6 source. However, they are only warnings of potential misbehaviour,
they do not mean there's something wrong. You can safely ignore those
warnings.
