Subject: Overloaded constructor resolution
Mime-Version: 1.0

I'm trying to compile some library code with GCC 2.95.2 but I keep getting 
an ambiguous constructor call.  Here is the error:

gauge.cpp: In method `void OWL::TGauge::SetBkgndColor(const OWL::TColor &)':
gauge.cpp:217: call of overloaded `TColor(unsigned int)' is ambiguous
../../Include/owl/color.h:458: candidates are: OWL::TColor::TColor(const 
OWL::TColor &) <near match>
../../Include/owl/color.h:468:                 OWL::TColor::TColor(long 
unsigned int)
../../Include/owl/color.h:478:                 OWL::TColor::TColor(long int)
../../Include/owl/color.h:509:                 OWL::TColor::TColor(short int)
make: *** [../../Obj/owlwfg/gauge.obj] Error 1

I've fixed the offending code with a cast, but I'm wondering why other 
compilers don't complain.  This code has been compiled with Borland and MS 
compilers.
