[Pan-devel] still having troubles (Re: Ping K.Haley: latest testing branch updates, I get compiler error in post-ui.cc line 742: ‘_close’ not declared.)

[SciFi]

Hi,

Sorry to say, at this moment of this posting,
the latest git-pull is still not working right here on OSX.  :(

I did a “make -k clean distclean” first.
I renamed my slightly–modified pan/gui/post-ui.cc
then did a “git pull” of testing branch to get latest stuff
(and to get a fresh latest copy of pan/gui/post-ui.cc).
Did “./configure --enable-dependency-tracking”
[I don’t use pkg–mgrs or cross–compiles etc, so it’s okay],
then ran “make -w”,
and the gcc-4.2.1 compiler stopped here:

There is only one place HAVE_CLOSE is found in my local tree
even after the ./configure has run:
$ grep -nre 'HAVE_CLOSE' .
./pan/gui/post-ui.cc:65:#ifndef HAVE_CLOSE
$ _
and it is not def’d in my env-vars etc,
so I must infer that the ifndef is actually being run
causing the mix-up being cited.

To work-around this for now, in ./pan/gui/post-ui.cc,
I commented–out the ifndef block starting at line 65,
and let it see the plain “close” again as-is on line 746.
This lets me build the latest testing branch ATM
(which I am using to post this message).

;)
