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) richard@richard-ESPRIMO-C910:~/JUCE-5.4.3/extras/Projucer/Builds/LinuxMakefile$ sudo make Compiling jucer\_AutoUpdater.cpp In file included from …/…/…/…/modules/juce\_graphics/juce\_graphics.h:121, from …/…/…/…/modules/juce\_gui\_basics/juce\_gui\_basics.h:57, from …/…/…/…/modules/juce\_analytics/juce\_analytics.h:55, from …/…/JuceLibraryCode/…/JuceLibraryCode/JuceHeader.h:17, from …/…/Source/Application/…/Application/jucer\_Headers.h:29, from …/…/Source/Application/jucer\_AutoUpdater.cpp:27: …/…/…/…/modules/juce\_graphics/colour/juce\_PixelFormats.h: In member function ‘juce::uint8& juce::PixelARGB::getAlpha()’: …/…/…/…/modules/juce\_graphics/colour/juce\_PixelFormats.h:116:77: error: cannot bind packed field ‘((juce::PixelARGB\*)this)-\>juce::PixelARGB::.juce::PixelARGB::::comps[3]’ to ‘juce::uint8&’ {aka ‘unsigned char&’} 116 | e uint8& getAlpha() noexcept { return comps [indexA]; } | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ---

AFAIK, these errors come from building with GCC 9. You can either cherry-pick [https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/commit/4e0adb2af8b424c43d22bd431011c9a6c57d36b6](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.
