xchat-gnome does not build

[monty19@…]

Had to edit /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_xchat-gnome/work/xchat-gnome-0.4/src/fe-gtk/xtext.h and change

GtkType gtk_xtext_get_type (void);

to

GType gtk_xtext_get_type (void);

per recommendations for xchat 1.8...

After that had to disable mmx by adding --disable-mmx to config.args line in

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/gnome/xchat-gnome/Portfile

After that it still explodes with:

sudo port install xchat-gnome

Not sure what to do for this one...

Noticed after I filed this that there is no maintainer which made me believe that it's possible that the package might be a bit old... sure enough... used 0.18 and all I had to do was add -fnested-functions to cflags to get it to build; it runs and there are no immediately glaring problems... (i don't know if --disable-mmx is still required; was left over from attempts with 0.4...)

Attached Portfile because formatting is bad on post

[monty19@…]

Almost forgot, libsexy was required as well; simply had to sudo port install libsexy.

Updated to 0.18 in r44317 with a few other changes to the port.
