BUG: Lesstif won't build on Tiger

[tpeters@…]

I have an X11 app. that I try to port to Mac OS X 10.4, and which needs lesstif (or Motif) libs. There is a dport for lesstif which I tried to install. It comes a long way, but crashes at some point. I do have a working X11 environment (XFree). Here is the log of the 2nd attempt, so part is already up-to date; the error on the 1st line I believe is not an error but comes from make return ing a message that nothing is to be done.

Assigning to maintainer.

I too could not get lesstif to build on Tiger 10.4.2 / gcc 4 (tried 3.3 too) / Xcode 2.1 a couple of days ago. I tried repeatedly. Then just now I tried reinstalling with gcc 4.0 and it installed just fine. I have changed nothing on my PowerBook so I have no idea why it worked for me now.

[billy.biggs@…]

I think it's a bug in the lesstif code. With USE_XFT enabled, Out_FontHeight is a macro with an inline if, so the expansion becomes something like this:

int main () {

int a = 0, b, c; (a ? b : c) = 5;

}

For me this gives:

main.c: In function ‘main’: main.c:3: error: invalid lvalue in assignment

I'm not sure where the upstream is so if someone could forward this on. I also had to add a -lfontconfig to get libXm to link on Tiger.

[rpz@…]

I was able to build this port by avoiding the USE_XPF macro by adding the configure argument

--without-freetype-includes

This is by no means a fix, but still allows you to build the port.

[markd@…]

Here is a patch that updates to 0.95 and uses --without-freetype-includes because it is still needed with the new version.

[markd@…]

Committed and update to the latest version and added -without-freetype-includes. Thanks.
