Problem converting text example in pspsdk from C to C++

[trevis]

I'm trying to convert the text example located in the pspsdk from C to C++ (/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/samples/gu/text/). I was hoping to integrate it somewhat into one of my current C++ projects. The error is the following:

main.cpp: In function ‘void drawString(const char*, int, int, unsigned int, int)’:
main.cpp:106: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘drawString(const char*, int, int, unsigned int, int)::VERT*’

This error is no existent when compiling with psp-gcc. You can get this same error by renaming main.c from the example to main.cpp and using psp-g++ to compile it instead of psp-gcc. I've attached the files below as well if anyone cares to point me in the right direction, thanks.

try the following

VERT* v = static_cast<VERT*> (sceGuGetMemory(sizeof(VERT) * 2 * len) );
