graphviz @2.36.0 +ming: error: unknown type name 'textpara_t'; did you mean 'textspan_t'?

See attached log.

gvrender_ming.c:45:15: warning: unused variable 'action' [-Wunused-variable]

Workaround is to build without +ming variant.

The warning you quoted is just a warning. The real problem is what comes after the warning:

Confirmed with graphviz @2.36.0 and @2.37.20140201.0545. I've reported it to the developers: ​http://www.graphviz.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=2420

In the migration to Gitlab, the above Mantis issue became ​https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/issues/292. This was reportedly fixed in ​Graphviz commit a3ef2c5a5a1077c1176c6503f5aefc4df1df15c3, which made it into 2.38.0.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Since our current graphviz release is at 2.40.1 (with a pending update to 2.48.0) - and the fix was included in 2.38.0 - this is no longer an issue. Closing as resolved.
