Getting these throughout when compiling with gcc 3.2.2- missing terminating " character Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use gcc 3.2.2 to emerge gphoto 0.4.3-r2 2. Error!

This is apparently an issue with the newer version of gcc. All of the multiline string literals need to changed from- static char *dir_description() { return( "Browse Directory\nScott Fritzinger <scottf@unr.edu> Allows the user to \"open\" a directory of images and all gPhoto functions will work on those images (HTML Gallery, etc...)\n This will not work in command-line mode, due to the high amount of input needed to set it up."); } To- static char *dir_description() { return( "Browse Directory\nScott Fritzinger <scottf@unr.edu>\n" "Allows the user to \"open\" a directory of\n" "images and all gPhoto functions will work\n" "on those images (HTML Gallery, etc...)\n\n" "This will not work in command-line mode,\n" "due to the high amount of input needed\n" "to set it up."); } There are also other places in the code that needs cleaning.
Created attachment 33327 [details] gphoto-0.4.3-r3-RC1.tar.bz2 A candidate for gphoto-0.4.3-r3 to fix the gcc compilation bugs.
and with newer gcc's (3.3?), do you get the same problems ?
Yes, it still occurs with gcc 3.3.3.
This still hasn't been fixed, Gnome Desktop Team.
Comment on attachment 33327 [details] gphoto-0.4.3-r3-RC1.tar.bz2 atched source files to allow compiling. It now works under gcc-3.2.2. I'm sorry, I don't know a lot about creating patch files. There would have to be several created. Several files were fixed.
fixed in cvs now. however, i'm deprecating gphoto in favour of gphoto2. gphoto is not supported upstream any more, and if a user wishes to use gphoto, they need to understand it isn't supported upstream, hence the mask.
