Description
This has happened before later stopped (only reporting this as a warning, for some reason . . .), but I'm getting the following error when compiling the current CVS tree.
g++ -Wp,-MMD,"sky/.deps/text.d2" -g -O -Wall -Wstrict- prototypes -Wuninitialized -Wno-long-long -Wno-multichar -Wno- unknown-pragmas -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DUNIX -I. -Icommon `sdl- config --cflags` -c sky/text.cpp -o sky/text.o /boot/home/ScummVMCVS/1306032256/scummvm/sky/text.cpp: In method `struct displayText_t SkyText::displayText(char *, uint8 *, bool, short unsigned int, unsigned char)': /boot/home/ScummVMCVS/1306032256/scummvm/sky/text.cpp:316: initializing non-const `uint8 *&' with `byte *' will use a temporary make: *** [sky/text.o] Error 1
I still don't understand what the difference between an 8-bit object and a byte, but it's generating an error because of it.
As a side note, should I be submitting reports somewhere about compilation warnings (the forums, maybe?) or just compilation errors?
Thanks.

That this is marked as an error (or even a warning) is clearly a bug in your compiler.
However, it is also a sign of inconsistent use of the byte datatype vs. uint8 - even though they are, on the machine level, identical. Olki, you hopefully know which of you guys is responsible for that code, whoever is should try to fix this.
