Hi all,
Im trying to create a map, where the key is an int, and the value is an array
int red[3] = {1,0,0};
int green[3] = {0,1,0};
int blue[3] = {0,0,1};
std::map<int, int[3]> colours;
colours.insert(std::pair<int,int[3]>(GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON,red)); //THIS IS LINE 24 !
colours.insert(std::pair<int,int[3]>(GLUT_MIDDLE_BUTTON,blue));
colours.insert(std::pair<int,int[3]>(GLUT_RIGHT_BUTTON,green));
However, when I try to compile this code, I get the following error.
g++ (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) 4.4.1

I really cant see where the error is. Or even if there's an error.
Any help (please include an explanation to help me avoid this mistake) will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
