grisbi build fails: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode

[barracuda156]

Initially build fails with error: redefinition of typedef 'CsvTemplateRule', when gcc-4.2 is picked. Upon adding it to backlist, build proceeds but eventually fails with error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode error.

For some reason adding configure.cflags-append -std=gnu99 does not have a desired effect: flag is used everywhere except for the only place where it is actually required.

grisbi_osx.m is an Objective-C file (.m extension), not a C file (.c extension). To add flags for Objective-C files, the OBJCFLAGS environment variable is used, not the CFLAGS environment variable. The MacPorts option for that is configure.objcflags rather than configure.cflags.

But if this is the only (or one of only a few) C89 incompatibilities you could instead fix them and ​submit them to the developers or at least ​file a bug report about them. Same for the type redefinition.
