ecore-0.9.9.038 : ecore_evas_private.h:122 syntax error

[hashar@…]

I tried to install the "eport" package on Mac OS X 1.5.8. It seems to compile with GCC 4.0. The relevant section is :

etc

This is either an upstream error or related to GCC version. My C knowledge isn't good enough to check this.

Let me know if I should report this error upstream.

Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting. This port has no maintainer, so reporting upstream is all you can do unless you can provide a patch.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

It seems that version 0.9.9.038 is almost 3 years old, so this may well be fixed upstream already.

[hashar@…]

Update ecore Portfile (new upstream location & version). Based on evas Portfile.

This is my first attempt at editing a portfile. Note : I did not test ecore but at least the above patch makes it compiles and bring the latest upstream version ;)

I submited another ticket for edje and embryo ports : #24538

Thanks, updated ecore in r67647.
