comics-document.c: In function 'comics_document_load':
comics-document.c:109: error: parse error before '&' token
comics-document.c:117: error: 'quoted_file' undeclared (first use in this function)
comics-document.c:117: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
comics-document.c:117: error: for each function it appears in.)
comics-document.c:118: error: 'mime_type' undeclared (first use in this function)
comics-document.c:140: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I took a look at comics-document.c and I don't see anything obviously wrong with line 109, where the first error is reported:

        gchar *list_files_command = NULL, *stdout, *quoted_file, *mime_type;

The error message - parse error before '&' token - is mysterious to me, as there is no '&' on that line; given the other reported errors it looks like it's barfing on the '*stdout', since it says 'quoted_file' and 'mime_type' are undeclared, and the error on line 140 refers to this:

        success = g_spawn_command_line_sync (list_files_command,
                                             &stdout, NULL, &retval, error);

where I suspect the '&stdout' is the culprit.

I'm not a C programmer (I can still code in FORTRAN, for what that's worth) so I'm not sure what a suitable fix is; but this port has no maintainer...

Copying what I just emailed:

I don't have GNOME installed (nor the time to install all of it), but on my system it appears that, depending on the definition of DARWIN_UNIX03, /usr/include/stdio.h may define stdout as a value containing an &.

It might be worth editing the portfile (it's at port file evince) to include the following:

configure.cflags-append "-DDARWIN_UNIX03=1"

...and if that doesn't work, try:

configure.cflags-append "-DDARWIN_UNIX03=0"

And now without the overzealous WikiFormatting:

I don't have GNOME installed (nor the time to install all of it), but on my system it appears that, depending on the definition of __DARWIN_UNIX03, /usr/include/stdio.h may define stdout as a value containing an &.

It might be worth editing the portfile (it's at port file evince) to include the following:

configure.cflags-append "-D__DARWIN_UNIX03=1"

...and if that doesn't work, try:

configure.cflags-append "-D__DARWIN_UNIX03=0"
