gtkpod-0.72 doesn't build on my (admittedly old) gentoo-1.2 box.

Created attachment 24300 [details, diff] patch to fix compilation with gcc-2.95
Created attachment 24301 [details] ebuild using above patch
ok, this is in... but if gtkpod adds more C99 stuff.. I dont know for how long I'll keep patching to support older compilers... Btw, did you send this to the gtkpod author?
OK, thanks. I wasn't sure whether to send this to the gtkpod author - I've seen in the past that sometimes authors like to receive "official" patches from the distribution. But I'll send this one ASAP.
I have submitted the patch to the gtkpod author and he has committed it to CVS.
