Xft merge CVS will not build on my system

Mac OSX 10.4.3 system with gcc-4.01 Darwin 8.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.3.0: Mon Oct 3 20:04:04 PDT 2005; root:xnu-792.6.22.obj~2/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc XEmacs 21.5-b23 "daikon" (+CVS-20051125) configured for `powerpc-apple-darwin8.3.0'. Note, I removed the ", )" at line 2343 of configure just to get the configure to work. Compiling with --with-xft=none still works. Compiling with --with-xft=all, --with-xft=emacs, or without xft (i.e. no --with-xft in configure command) fails. If I compile configured --enable-union-type, I get a number of warnings early on about pointers differing in signedness (in Xft-related files) and then a failure with an error in src/objects-x.c (note the same warnings at first). If I compile without the union-type for lisp objects, I do not get the warnings, but I get the same error (note that the initiallizations that do not produce a warning have NULL as the value for the stuct members language and rfc3066). The variable 'name' is not declared. It is declared at line 1248 of objects-x.c (as a FcChar8 type), but note that the scope for that variable ends at line 1287, before the variable is referenced. name is freed immediately before the end of that block, so moving the closing bracket seems not the correct solution. I cannot figure why it would compile for any other compiler/system. gcc -c -Wall -Wno-switch -Wundef -Wsign-compare -Wno-char-subscripts -Wpacked -Wpointer-arith -Wunused-parameter -g -Os -pipe -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 -mpim-altivec -Os -pipe -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 -mpim-altivec -Demacs -I. -I/Users/royar/src/xemacs/src -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 -I/opt/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include objects-x.c objects-x.c: In function 'x_initialize_font_instance': objects-x.c:349: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'XftTextExtents8' differ in signedness objects-x.c: In function 'x_font_instance_truename': objects-x.c:810: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness objects-x.c: At top level: objects-x.c:1127: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1128: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1129: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1130: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1131: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1132: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1133: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1136: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1137: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1138: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1139: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1148: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1151: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1152: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c: In function 'x_find_charset_font': objects-x.c:1213: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1225: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'FcNameParse' differ in signedness objects-x.c:1226: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1230: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1232: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1236: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1252: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1269: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1283: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness objects-x.c:1307: error: 'name' undeclared (first use in this function) objects-x.c:1307: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once objects-x.c:1307: error: for each function it appears in.) objects-x.c:1307: error: parse error before '}' token objects-x.c:1353: error: parse error before '}' token objects-x.c:1367: error: parse error before '}' token objects-x.c:1399: error: parse error before '}' token objects-x.c:1413: error: parse error before '}' token make[1]: *** [objects-x.o] Error 1 make: *** [src] Error 2 -- Dr. Robert Delius Royar Associate Professor of English Morehead State University Morehead, Kentucky Making meaning one message at a time.
