>Description:
Since the update to 0.6.2 of the devel/libast port, it requires
a define LIBAST_COMPAT_05_API to have 0.5 compatibility. If this
is not set on configure time, several functions like
libast_malloc() are not defined anymore.
There are ports like x11/eterm that require this function and
thus are not buildable anymore.
>How-To-Repeat:
portupgrade -f devel/libast
cd /usr/ports/x11/eterm && make configure
>Fix:
A patch should take place here to set LIBAST_COMPAT_05_API
like required in include/libast.h:
/* Do we, or do we not, pollute the namespace like we used to? */
#if LIBAST_COMPAT_05_API
/* The application must have defined this. */
/* conf.c */
[...]
# define libast_malloc(a, b, c) spifmem_malloc((a), (b), (c))
[...].
I don't know where the best place to place a patch is, so i
better let the people that know how to do that, do it :-)
