libzvt-2.0.1 fails to compile

[SimplySeth]

when attempting to compile libzvt it fails horribly.

Output of failed libzvt compilation

Yes I see the same problem. The relevant error from the log seems to be:

zvtterm.c: In function 'zvt_term_init':
zvtterm.c:363: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

Bear in mind that there has not been a new version of libzvt released in over 8 years, so it's not surprising there has been some bitrotting. Probably not compatible with the current version of gtk2, again.

libzvt has been removed from other distributions already. I recommend we do the same. But there are still dependents in the tree:

$ port echo depends:libzvt
gnomesu
py-gnome
