Getting the following compilation (using gcc-4.4.5 20110214) errors while compiling OSMesa:

main/transformfeedback.c:43: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘/’ token
main/transformfeedback.c:43: error: stray ‘#’ in program
make[3]: *** [main/transformfeedback.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/data/kozaka/gerris-suite/Mesa-7.10/src/mesa'
make[2]: *** [subdirs] Error 1

make[1]: *** [default] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/kozaka/gerris-suite/Mesa-7.10'
make: *** [linux-osmesa32] Error 2


same error in src/mesa/state_tracker/st_context.h line:1
              src/glsl/glcpp/pp.c line:79  

I am no expert in C or C++ but I replaced the // with /* -- */ and the compilation was completed without any problems.
