build log for audacity-2.0.5-r1 using gcc-6.2.0

After upgrading gcc to version 6.2.0 I can't build media-sound/audacity-2.0.5-r1 anymore.

Error:

> import/ImportFLAC.cpp: In member function 'virtual ImportFileHandle* FLACImportPlugin::Open(wxString)':
> import/ImportFLAC.cpp:299:14: error: cannot convert 'bool' to 'ImportFileHandle*' in return

I can build audacity with gcc-5.4.0 without any problems.

Just to confirm, this is fixed upstream for 2.1.3 and onwards (nullptr rather than NULL, but same effect).
Comment 5 Francesco Turco 2016-09-19 11:29:05 UTC
audacity-2.0.5-r1 has still not been patched for gcc6. Commit 5c43afe6861275a05aeb4d6b6e45cdbbccfef21b only applies to version 2.1.2 (which is currently red masked).
