Scorched3d-39 fails to compile because it can't resolve the wxString constructor. For what it's worth, I have wxGTK-2.4.2-r3 (USE="-debug +gtk2 +odbc +opengl +unicode -wxgtk1") and wxGTK-2.6.1 (USE="-debug +doc +gnome +gtk2 -joystick +odbc +opengl +sdl +unicode -wxgtk1").

The author of scorched3d responded to this problem and posted the fix on the game's forums. The fix is to change line 631 of StatsLoggerMySQL.cpp from const possibleChars [] = { to const char possibleChars [] = {
or set USE=-mysql Patch is in CVS. Reopen if you still have a problem compiling. Thanks for the bug report and for passing along to patch.
