error building audiofile-0.2.6

[marloes-dports@…]

PROBLEM: After newly installing Darwinports and updating it using the port -d selfupdate command (New DarwinPorts base version 1.001), i tried installing the xmms port but this failed because of a build error in audiofile. This is the relevant part of the output:

aaiboek$ sudo port install xmms ---> Fetching audiofile ---> Attempting to fetch audiofile-0.2.6.tar.gz from ​http://www.68k.org/~michael/audiofile/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for audiofile ---> Extracting audiofile ---> Configuring audiofile ---> Building audiofile with target all Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_audio_audiofile/work/audiofile-0.2.6" && make all" returned error 2 Command output: osxplay.c:115: error: `outputUnit' undeclared (first use in this function)

FIX: I've checked the relevant line in osxplay.c and outputUnit appears to be a function argument. However, the osxplay file was located in a dir named 'examples', which didn't sound too important. I edited the main Makefile to omit the 'examples' directory and ran the 'sudo port install xmms' command again. This did the trick, installing audiofile without further errors.
