Errors when compiling Projucer

Linux

I am trying to compile the Projucer on Linux Mint. Version 5.4.3 ( I have to use this version for Cabbage)
I get some errors: (I already tried make clean also)

AFAIK, these errors come from building with GCC 9.

You can either cherry-pick https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/commit/4e0adb2af8b424c43d22bd431011c9a6c57d36b6 or use an older version of GCC.

I hope this helps!

Thanks! I will give it a try…

After recommendation from the Cabbage forum, I tried Juce 5.4.7, that work perfectly. I did not have to change any files. Strange, because the commit you refer to seems to be implemented in 6.0.4…

The commit I referred to is from April 2019 and is part of JUCE 5.4.4.

Ok, that explains it. I must have read the version number in the include file itself I think.
