Building error in gspell

[thiagoveloso (Thiago V. dos Santos)]

I tried to update my packages yesterday, and got an error when updating both gedit and gedit-plugins. The error is related to the gspell package. Essentially, what the error says is:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSObjCRuntime.h:402:19: error: unknown type name 'NSString'; did you mean 'GString'?

There are dozens of the same error in multiple files. I have attached the complete error log to this message.

For the record, I am using the latest MacPorts (2.3.4) on a El Capitan Macbook Pro with the most recent Xcode (7.3).

Does anybody have a clue on how I can fix this?

Further details of the error I get when updating the gspell package.

One detail I forgot to mention: gedit was installed with the "+quartz" variant.

In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers gspell), if any.

Replying to mf2k@…:

Thanks for the advice. I honestly did not know about this feature.

Problem confirmed and not specific to El Capitan. I have reproduced it on Yosemite as well. Looking to see if it has been reported upstream already. If not, will do so.

Patch to fix +quartz build issues committed in r147589. Works for me. Let me know if it works for you as well. This was something that was fixed in earlier versions but was broken again in 1.0. Thanks for your report.

[thiagoveloso (Thiago V. dos Santos)]

I successfully updated both gedit and gedit-plugins. Confirmed to be working on my system too. Thank you Dave so much for the prompt response to this issue.

Glad it's working for you.
