Ah I see.

BTW: if I supply --disable-error-on-warning to configure, it does not get much
further:

kvp_frame.c: In function 'KvpFrame* get_trailer_make(KvpFrame*, const char*, char**)':
kvp_frame.c:329:38: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
kvp_frame.c: In function 'const KvpFrame* get_trailer_or_null(const KvpFrame*, const char*, char**)':
kvp_frame.c:371:38: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
make[5]: *** [libgnc_qof_la-kvp_frame.lo] Error 1

C++ is much stricter with types than plain C ...

  Herbert.
