Bugzilla Bug 9999

This is the error i get when compiling endeavour-2.1.14

In file included from fio.cpp:7:
../include/xsw_ctype.h:9: new declaration `bool isblank(int)'
/usr/include/ctype.h:128: ambiguates old declaration `int isblank(int)'
make[1]: *** [fio.o] Error 1

with:
Portage 2.0.43 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2, glibc-2.3.1-r1)

Hi Arno.

Thank you for the bug report.
Looks like this is  related to the glibc version (or possibly to stricter
gcc-3.x checks).
In any case, looks like I have a fix for the problem - I commented out #include
<ctyoes.h> in that file (I don't understand why app developer put that #include
statment there at all - xsw_ctype.h seems to define all the necessary macros
(local versions)). This seems to work for both 3.2 and 2.95.3.
  I committed the fix (no revision bump, since this is a fix for certain
platform only, no need to force rebuild for people who have it working).
Please test and report.

Ok, new version is in portage as well as of few minutes ago (and does not seem
to have this problem).
Closing this bug.

Hi,

Endeavour-2.1.14 compiles and works OK now.

However, it seems that endeavour-2.1.20 shows the exact same problem:

In file included from ../fio.cpp:7:
../../include/xsw_ctype.h:9: new declaration `bool isblank(int)'
/usr/include/ctype.h:128: ambiguates old declaration `int isblank(int)'
make[1]: *** [../fio.o] Error 1

With:
Portage 2.0.43 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2, glibc-2.3.1-r2)

Hi Arno.

Thanks for testing (and the excellent report in the first place).
Unfortunately 2.1.20 was committed independently of me, based on somewhat oldish
submission, so it did not incorporate this fix :(.
Fixed now, please test.
I guess I'll need to ask endeavour developers about this issue as well.

Hi,

Endeavour-2.1.20-r1 compiles OK now (Portage 2.0.43 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2,
glibc-2.3.1-r2). Thanks.
