gindent @2.2.12: error: variable 'paren_level' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable] — at Version 1

Reported by: physicsbeany Owned by: larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.7.2
Keywords: monterey haspatch Cc: larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)
Port: gindent

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hi. Trying to install gnuplot on a fresh MacPorts installation on MacOS Monterey, but it quickly fails when installing the dependency port "gindent". Looking at the error log, it seems that the compiler flags are too stringent, killing the build because a variable is declared but not used: 

:info:build output.c:843:8: error: variable 'paren_level' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Full log file attached to this ticket.

Summary: gindent won't build -- paren_level not used error → gindent @2.2.12: error: variable 'paren_level' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]

This kind of thing is the reason why we recommend ports don't build with -Werror.

Since this isn't a MacPorts-specific problem, please report it to the developers of gindent at ​https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=indent.
