Re: torcs compilation error

Hi Joseph

Yes, there was an API-Change, use strdup, example from bt.cpp in TORCS:
extern "C" int bt(tModInfo *modInfo)
{
     ...
     modInfo[i].name = strdup(botname[i]);
     modInfo[i].desc    = strdup(botdesc[i]);

Btw. if somebody wants to bring the tutorial to the current date, let me 
know (I plan to update it and integrate it into the TORCS documentation 
when the 1.3.x series will get to pure mantainance mode, so this can 
take another year or so).

Kind regards

Bernhard
