Hi Mark,
Thank you for the quick response. Initially this appeared to work, but I had many more arrays to which I needed to do this. After having modified them all, 
it appears that I've replaced one problem for another. Now I get:
../expString.cc:722:32: warning: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings] /usr/bin/g++ -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_X86_64_ -DUNIX -Dlinux -O3 -g -Wall -DSINGLE_THREADED=1 -D__epics__=1 -mtune=generic -m64 -fPIC -I. -I../O.Common -I. -I. -I.. -I../../../../include/edm/compiler/gcc -I../../../../include/edm/os/Linux -I../../../../include/edm -I/home/epics/epicsDEV/base/include/compiler/gcc -I/home/epics/epicsDEV/base/include/os/Linux -I/home/epics/epicsDEV/base/include -I/home/epics/epicsDEV/extensions/include -I../../util -I../../lib -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -c ../cursor.cc ../cursor.cc: In member function ‘void cursorClass::create(Display*, Window, Colormap)’: ../cursor.cc:416:39: error: invalid conversion from ‘unsigned char*’ to ‘char*’ [-fpermissive]

etc.

    0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

I suspect the problem is that char is a signed type and the compiler is complaining because an integer larger than 127 is being assigned (e.g. 0xe0).  What happens if you change that to "static unsigned char"?

Subject: problem compiling edm

I've a new pc on which I'm running Fedora release 25.  I'm using base
3.15.5.

I'm attempting to build edm, but whilst attempting to compile, I get:

make[2]: Entering directory

../cursor.cc:82:50: error: narrowing conversion of ‘224’ from ‘int’ to
‘char’ inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
and many more lines of the same.

I can't find this problem in tech-talk, nor with a web search. Has
anyone run into this problem and if so, how did you resolve it?
Many thanks,
Pierrick
