Hi all,

I'm trying to use angelscript 2.25.1 using gcc 4.7.1

I compiled angelscript without issues.

When I try to compile my project that uses angelscript, however, I'm getting this error:

jarrett@jarrett-g74s:~/projects/myproject$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.

scons: *** [build/common/as_wrapper/AngelScript.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

So basically, it (I guess the compiler) can't find GetFunctionIdByDecl function in asIScriptModule. I'm pretyt sure it should be there though.

Also, the code on lin 242 is:
int funcId = mod->GetFunctionIdByDecl(function);
where 'function' is declared earlier as a 'char*' and 'mod' is of type 'asIScriptModule *mod'.

I thought this might be an issue with gcc 4.7.1....but I'm not sure.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I appreciate any help!

Cheers

Apparently, that method is now deprecated.

Found out from Chris on stackoverflow (here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13370774/using-angelscript-compile-error)

According to the source (angelscript.h line 664), GetFunctionIdByDecl is deprecated, so you need to #define AS_DEPRECATED to use it[/quote]

The manual is also a good place to look for information like this

Or if you're upgrading from an older version and the deprecated functions have already been removed and thus not mentioned in the manual, then the change list will help you understand what has been modified over the various versions. The section 'Library interface' is specifically for giving this type of information.
