libgphoto2 2.5.5 and 2.5.5.1 do not build for me on OS X:

libgphoto2 2.5.4 builds fine on the same system.

[Marcus Meissner]

big logging cleanyup in 2.5.5 likely introduced this.

do you build with gcc?

try attached patch....

[Hanspeter Niederstrasser]

Confirming that the attached patch fixes the libgphoto-2.5.5 build for me on OS X 10.9. On any OS X newer than 3 years, clang is the default compiler.

[Ryan Carsten Schmidt]

Oops, I forgot to test the patch. Yes, it works for me too, and yes, I'm using clang too.

[Marcus Meissner]

fixed for next release
