I can confirm this bug, MacPorts 1.8.1, trying to install finch 2.6.2.

I can also confirm this in 1.8.1 on MacOS 10.6.2 with latest dev tools. As a workaround you can put #define NO_WIDECHAR in gntwm.c to avoid the offending function and it will compile. Finch seems to function fine with this workaround but use at your own risk.

updates port to 2.6.4 and uses damiens suggestion to patch gntwm.c. WHen using Terminal in rxvt emulation, things appear to work fine.

[nefar@…]

I've been using damien's fix a week and a half now, and I have had zero issues. Can someone commit this fix?

Attachment downloads fine for me

​http://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/21293/finch-2.6.4.tgz

[nefar@…]

*bump*

Port is still at 2.6.2 despite closed Ticket #22280 which has i up to 2.6.3. Perhaps close that ticket and finally commit this? After all, finch is 2.6.5 now.

[nefar@…]

nm, that other ticket was for pidgin, not finch.

[nefar@…]

I've submitted an update request for finch to update to 2.6.5. See Ticket #23622

[pj.paito@…]

I added "#define NO_WIDECHAR" to gntwm.c and i got he below error do i need to clean the build first or anything?

I just edited the file here: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_finch/work/pidgin-2.6.2/finch/libgnt/

Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

Thanks.

Adding "#define NO_WIDECHAR" in gntwm.c worked for me as well.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Can this be closed now that the port has been updated to 2.6.5. in r64654?

[nefar@…]

yes
