mednafen (0.8.1_2): build failure

[Pesthauch666@…]

While upgrading to the more recent version of mednafen the build failed with similar errors that I experienced with ffmpeg-devel 20120317_0. It seems the build stumbles across some extraneous characters:

I cannot reproduce, could it be a locale issue, e.g. only in your terminal output?

This ticket is possibly outdated by #33853.

I've tried installing mednafen again (after removing it completely) but it still fails to built. But at least it doesn't fail with the same error, that btw. looked like some unicode issue. Now built failure looks like this:

:info:build file.cpp: In function ‘MDFNFILE* MakeMemWrap(void*, int)’:
:info:build file.cpp:158: error: ‘void*’ is not a pointer-to-object type

:info:build file.cpp:190: error:   initializing argument 1 of ‘int gzclose(gzFile_s*)’
:info:build make[2]: *** [file.o] Error 1

I've attached the complete new log file as well.

Since the error has changed ticket's description should change accordingly.

Those errors have been patched in r91933, cf. #33853.

Ticket closed.
