Bug 8929 – hfsplusutils doesn't compile in 1.4_rc1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Nall 2002-10-09 08:09:26 UTC]

hfsplusutils-1.0.4 doesn't compile in gentoo 1.4_rc1. the error is:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../libhfsp/src    -O2 -Wall -c glob.c
glob.c: In function `strmatch':
glob.c:51: pointers are not permitted as case values
make[2]: *** [glob.o] Error 1

i'm attaching a patch to fix this problem. the author has a construct like:
switch(char){
   case NULL:
   ...
}

which won't compile. my patch changes the NULL to a '\0', which does what the
author intends and compiles fine.
