gnome-vfs won't build against zlib@1.2.4

[stvnschwrz@…]

The gnome-vfs macport fails to build against zlib@1.2.4.

In file included from gzip-method.c:33:
/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1561: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'gzseek64'
/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1562: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'gztell64'

/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1565: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'off64_t'

Other tickets that may be similar or relevant: #24079 and #24067. Ticket 24067 seems written assuming it is zlib's fault. 24079 is written assuming it is the fault of ports including zlib, but only mentions MPlayer and mplayer-devel. Hence this ticket for gnome-vfs.

I've been trying to install GIMP via ports for weeks now; this is my 3rd or 4th related broken port to follow :(

zlib was just updated to 1.2.4 in r64716 on 2010-03-15 so if you have been experiencing problems for weeks, they were different problems than this one.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

That's correct: my comment was meant simply to outline my frustration overall in trying to install what I initially saw as one port, which relies on many others, just one of which being zlib. In any case, I certainly did not expect so many complications. I've installed many ports in the past, but this is a new system and I'm starting from scratch.

Yes it does, but this problem should still be fixed in the gnome-vfs source. Somebody should report this problem to the developers of gnome-vfs.

Upstream problem, doesn't happen with current zlib, no maintainer.
