BUG: glib2 build failure _wcslen

glib2 fails during build on 10.2.8 OSX with this error:

Sounds like a configure error, it's probably erroneously defining HAVE_WCHAR_T. (Which Jaguar might have, but it doesn't have the accompanying wcs* functions.) Do you see this during configure:

checking for wchar_t... yes

possible fix (patch)

Toby,

I upgraded to Panther which resolved this problem and others.

Thank you for your help.

did the most recent update to 2.8.2 resolve this issue?

[mij@…]

No idea. IMO, I'm not to concerned about it since 10.2.x is a few years old now and if people want to run it, they can deal with the consquences of doing so :-) Also, the original poster replied to some other comments and said he upgrade to Panther (which fixed it), so we can probably just close this and let it die.

Original author says -- current setup is 2.8.5 on 10.4.4, which worksforme. I can concede PR historic and close-able.

Closing as requested.
