vile: error: conflicting types for 'yyget_leng'

[albemengoni]

the command:

mymac>sudo port install vile

terminates with error and vile cannot be installed.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The relevant error from the log seems to be:

:info:build <stdout>:526: error: conflicting types for 'yyget_leng'
:info:build ./filters.h:165: error: previous declaration of 'yyget_leng' was here

I get a different error when I try to build...

The port should be updated to version 9.8; maybe that will help one or both of us.

[albemengoni]

OK. Looking forward for vile 9.8 version. A

proposed patch

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

9.8 builds for me; I've attached my patch. See if it builds for you too.

[albemengoni]

sorry, but where can i find 9.8 vile and how do i install with port?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

1. download my vile-9.8.diff​ patch from this ticket
2. apply the patch to the vile portfile by running a command like this (using the correct path to wherever you downloaded the file on your computer):

   sudo patch $(port file vile) < ~/Downloads/vile-9.8.diff
   

3. install the vile port:

   sudo port install vile

Oh, sorry, I didn't see you attached a new log. Trac doesn't send notifications for new attachments, so if you want me to see you've added an attachment, you should also add a regular comment to the ticket.

I see you're getting the same error in the new log as you were in the old one, so upgrading to 9.8 didn't help there. Googling the error message shows me it's an issue with flex. I had MacPorts flex installed, and if I deactivate it (thereby causing vile to use Apple's flex instead), then I can reproduce your error. So you should clean vile, install the flex port, and try installing vile again. And we should give vile a build dependency on the flex port to fix this.

sudo port clean vile
sudo port install flex
sudo port install vile

Thanks. Now vile is installed and running. Sorry for the previous reply without text.

Added flex build dependency in r73855 and updated to 9.8 in r73856 (maintainer timeout).
