Ok, I just compiled both QuickMUD and ROM 2.4b6 with gcc 4.0 . Here's simple
version of the changes needed:

In tables.h, move all the

extern  const   struct

lines to the bottom of the file rather than the top. (They are being used
before the structs are defined).


That's it for ROM. For QuickMUD you also have to rename the logf function, as
it conflicts with the C99 function of the same name which is used to return the
natural logarithm of a given float.

you can do this by running 

perl -pi -e 's/logf/qm_logf/g' *.[ch]

within the source directory for Quickmud



Hope that helps,
