Re: [Fink-beginners] Problem compiling TightVNC

[Patterson, J. <JP...@ls...>]

OK...what do I do with that? 

I guess I am saying it did stop the build in my case...

If I try to edit AuUnlock.c it just gets changed back to the original.

It may be helpful to interject here that I am fairly resourceful at compiling things that are not broken, but have never fixed things that wouldn't compile at this level of difficulty...

Ah, I was just told that tightvnc is already set for 1 build job interally

We've found that this error is actually due to an earlier error which doesn't stop the build:

gcc -c -O2 -ansi -Dasm=__asm    -I../.././ -I../.././/exports/include
-DCSRG_BASED   -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO    AuUnlock.c
AuUnlock.c:47:2: error: non-void function 'XauUnlockAuth' should return a value
      [-Wreturn-type]
        return;
        ^

make[2]: *** [AuUnlock.o] Error 1
