Description:The "nameless" structure in app_queue will not compile on my FreeBSD 4.10 system. I needed to add a name to it to make it work.

What compiler are you using? Anonymous structures/unions are supported in pretty much every recent version of gcc.

2.95.4 - the standard on FreeBSD 4.10

OK, well, I don't know that any policy has been stated at this point for Asterisk supporting old compilers, but that one is ancient :-) I'll chat with Mark to see what he feels about this.

After some discussions with Mark and others, it has been deemed that Asterisk 1.2 will only support compilation with gcc 3.x or above, or compilers that support the common GCC extensions, including anonymous structures and unions.

I will update the README and UPGRADE.txt files to reflect this change.

(Side note: I've been told that FreeBSD 4.x _does_ have gcc-3.4.x available in the ports collection, and that it is the standard compiler for the current FreeBSD 5.x stable series as well).
