gtk2 won't build on 10.5 due to 'echo' syntax change

[bbyer@…]

The gtk+ port fails to build on recent builds of OS X 10.5.

The error message is:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I../../.. -I../../../gtk -I../../../gtk -I../../../gdk -I../../../gdk -DGTK_PRINT_BACKEND_ENABLE_UNSUPPORTED -D_REENTRANT -DPNG_NO_MMX_CODE -DXTHREADS -I/opt/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/opt/local/include/cairo -I/opt/local/include/freetype2 -I/opt/local/include/libpng12 -I/usr/X11/include -I/opt/local/include/atk-1.0 -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS -I/opt/local/include -no-cpp-precomp -DX_LOCALE -I/opt/local/include -I/usr/X11/include -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -O3 -funroll-loops -fstrict-aliasing -O2 -Wall -MT gtkprintbackendcups.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gtkprintbackendcups.Tpo -c gtkprintbackendcups.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/gtkprintbackendcups.o
gtkprintbackendcups.c: In function 'cups_dispatch_watch_check':
gtkprintbackendcups.c:531: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make[4]: *** [gtkprintbackendcups.lo] Error 1

A little digging shows that that error comes from

#ifdef HAVE_CUPS_API_1_2
      dispatch->data_poll->fd = httpGetFd (dispatch->request->http);
#else
      dispatch->data_poll->fd = dispatch->request->http->fd;
#endif

... the ifdef test is failing, so the else clause is being evaluated.

The config.log file says this:

CUPS_API_MAJOR='-n 1'
CUPS_API_MINOR='3'
CUPS_CFLAGS=''
CUPS_CONFIG='/usr/bin/cups-config'
CUPS_LIBS='-lcups -weak_framework Kerberos -framework CoreFoundation -framework 
Security -lz -lpthread -framework CoreFoundation'

It looks like configure is barfing because it reads "-n 1" as 0.

I think you should report this upstream.

Assigning to maintainer.

Is this still an issue with the current version? It seems to build fine on 10.5 for me.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Assuming this was fixed upstream at some point.
