xfig @3.2.5b_5 Build failure – wrong return value declaration for main()

[hanche@…]

Xfig did not build for me using clang because main() is declared to return void, and clang issued an error instead of just a warning (as I would have expected). The fix is of course trivial:

On what OS X version did you encounter this error with what version of Xcode? I just fixed it yesterday to compile correctly on Mountain Lion with Xcode 4.4...

[hanche@…]

Yeah, sorry I didn't mention that. OS X 10.7.4, Xcode 4.3.2.

And oddly enough, xfig @3.2.5b_4 compiled fine, though I don't know what versions I had when I built that.

I did see the ticket and patch you refer to, but they didn't touch main.

Cc Me!

Just reproduced on 10.7.4 with XCode 4.4 while upgrading xfig.

Fixed in r96209, ticket closed.
