Compiling the frontend (I know it's not supposed to compile as-is but...)

[Nick Sabalausky]

Actually, when I piped that output to a file, it messed up the order of a few lines. The real output I got is this:

access.c:
array.c:
attrib.c:
    virtual void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs) = 0;
                                                     ^
init.h(41) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(61) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(81) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(101) : Error: ')' expected
    void toCBuffer(OutBuffer *buf, HdrGenState *hgs);
                                             ^
init.h(118) : Error: ')' expected
Fatal error: too many errors
