Hi,
I am having the same problem under Cygwin or Mingw32 with gcc-v 2.95.2-5
while compiling blitz-20001030

This is what I get:
C:\GNU\Blitz-Mingw32\src>g++ -ftemplate-depth-30 -I./.. -c ./globals.cpp

In file included from .\..\blitz\numinquire.h:55,
                 from .\..\blitz\array\expr.h:58,
                 from .\..\blitz\array.h:2463,
                 from ./globals.cpp:13:
.\..\blitz\limits-hack.h:291: warning: large integer implicitly
truncated to unsigned type
.\..\blitz\limits-hack.h:291: warning: large integer implicitly
truncated to unsigned type

I have 2 questions:
1)
Do I have to worry about that warning ?
It is the only message I get with Cygwin while doing:
./configure --with-cxx=gcc (or --with-cxx=egcs, it seems to be the
same)
and:
make check

2)
Since in my config.h (rebuilt) I get:
#undef BZ_HAVE_NUMERIC_LIMITS
then numinquire.h:
  #include <blitz/limits-hack.h>
where we can find written that:
"this file is written for the MIPS architecture and the SGI MIPSpro C++
compiler. Parts of it (in particular, some of the characteristics of
floating-point types) are almost certainly incorrect for any other
platform."

I am running Windows 2000 on a Intel 586 platform.

Thank you for any answers

Marcello
