c_glib tutorial fails to compile

[Akhil Das <ak...@sigmoidanalytics.com>]

Hi

I'm trying out the c_glib Calculator example
<http://thrift.apache.org/tutorial/c_glib> and it fails to compile saying:

  thrift-server.c:186:23: error: invalid conversion from ‘gpointer
{aka void*}’ to ‘TutorialCalculatorHandler* {aka
_TutorialCalculatorHandler*}’ [-fpermissive]
                     NULL);
                         ^
  thrift-server.c:194:23: error: invalid conversion from ‘gpointer

                     NULL);

  thrift-server.c:176:7: warning: unused variable ‘exit_status’
[-Wunused-variable]
     int exit_status = 0;


My GCC version is 4.8.2 and I'm on a ubuntu 14.10 box


I have posted the same on Stackoverflow also

Any help will be really appreciated.


Thanks
