#111 1.7.67: build crash due to #define REXDEBUG 1

[balducci]

hello

running on linux with gcc-9.2.0

fox-1.7.67 build crashes for me with:

----8<----
FXRex.cpp:4660:10: fatal error: fxrexdbg.h: No such file or directory
 4660 | #include "fxrexdbg.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [Makefile;1450: FXRex.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/balducci/tmp/install-us-d/fox-1.7.67.d/fox-1.7.67/lib'
---->8----

I can't find any fxrexdbg.h header around and I see that its inclusion
is triggered by a #define REXDEBUG 1 which is present only in
FXRex.cpp
Maybe some debugging flag while developing and not commented in the
official release?
Or am I missing something in my build script?

I configure with:
----8<----
--prefix
--libdir
--disable-silent-rules
---->8----

and never had problems since quite a lot

The following workaround fixes the build for me:

----8<----
*** lib/FXRex.cpp.NO_REXDEBUG   Fri Sep 13 15:17:39 2019
--- lib/FXRex.cpp   Fri Sep 13 15:17:39 2019

You're doing the right thing. Jeroen confirms this in https://sourceforge.net/p/foxgui/mailman/message/36806651/

Good news: the issue has now been fixed, in FOX 1.7.68.
