[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#10614) Compilation error

["Alexander Sayenko" <sayenko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

OS: Linux (RedHat)
Compiler: gcc-2.96
Files affected: client/gui-gtk-2.0/citydlg.c client/gui-gtk-2.0/diaogs.c
client/gui-gtk-2.0/mapview.c

This problem appears while compiling freeciv 2.0.0 beta1 with GTK2 client.
The compiler begins to complain that there is an error in the initialization
of the structure "canvas". It seems that older versions of gcc does not
handle properly the following initialization:

struct canvas store = {.type = ...., .v.pixcomm = ..};

So, changing this piece of code into the less elegant :), but more reliable
construct solves the problem.

struct canvas store;

store.type = ....;
store.v.pixcomm = ...;

Patch in the attachment corrects it.

P.S. I have not checked other GUIs, but there could be a similar problem
there. At least, GTK client compiles without problems.
