Asking HP to open source HP calculator software and patents

Code:


    error: static declaration of 'sp' follows non-static declaration
     static int sp = 1;

Hi EugeneNine,

Looking at this more closely this weekend to try to understand the problem, I realize that the error you quote is actually what you get when you try to compile the unpatched hptools archive (hptools-3.0.8). So, for whatever reason, it seems that your application of the patch didn't work. Did you see the instructions on my page by any chance?

Also, in the process of doing this I realized that my patch is actually a little old, and not the current state of my git repository, so I'll update it soon. Currently, the warnings I am left with pretty much all relate to possible overflows when doing string copies -- they may or may not be bogus, I'll need to take a closer look sometime.
