[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#741763: tclreadline: FTBFS: tclreadline.c:638:41: error: 'CPPFunction' undeclared (first use in this function)

[David Suárez]

Source: tclreadline
Version: 2.1.0-12
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org

Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

On new readline versions old-style function typedefs have been deprecated.

Relevant part (hopefully):
