Bug#300873: libgnome: FTBFS (amd64/gcc-4.0): array type has incomplete element type

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: libgnome
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When building 'libgnome' on amd64 with gcc-4.0,
I get the following error:

if /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I./..  -pthread -DORBIT2=1 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gnome-vfs-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/include -I/usr/include/bonobo-activation-2.0 -I/usr/include/libbonobo-2.0 -I/usr/include/gconf/2 -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0   -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DLIBGNOME_PREFIX=\""/usr"\" -DLIBGNOME_LIBDIR=\""/usr/lib"\" -DLIBGNOME_DATADIR=\""/usr/share"\" -DLIBGNOME_BINDIR=\""/usr/bin"\" -DLIBGNOME_LOCALSTATEDIR=\""/var/lib"\" -DLIBGNOME_SYSCONFDIR=\""/etc"\" -DVERSION=\""2.8.1"\" -DGNOMEVFSVERSION=\"2.8.4\" -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Gnome\"    -Wall -g -MT gnome-gconf.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/gnome-gconf.Tpo" \

gnome-gconf.c:33: error: array type has incomplete element type
make[4]: *** [gnome-gconf.lo] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/libgnome-2.8.1/libgnome'

With the attached patch 'libgnome' can be compiled
on amd64 using gcc-4.0.
