Build error on OS X 10.4.10, native compilation with jhbuild

[Acruiz]

I've got this error while trying to build inkscape in mac os x 10.4.10:

./extension/extension.h:109: error: declaration does not declare anything
./extension/input.h:39: error: declaration does not declare anything
./extension/output.h:37: error: declaration does not declare anything

What revision are you trying to build?
Have you followed http://inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingInkscape ?

Following the instructions there, Inkscape builds just fine on Mac OS X
Tiger most of the time.

I'm trying to build the trunk version.

Regarding the instructions, I'm using jhbuild to build it, from the guys
doing the mac os x port of gtk:
http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/build-instructions

I'm gonna have a look at the different build scripts and the instructions
to check if there's something missing, although so far I don't see any
difference on what jhbuild does and the instructions.

I think I´ve found the problem.

There are more headers with the same problem, effect.h, and print.h.

It seems that for some reason, the symbol "check" has some kind of
problem.
Actually, substituing check for do_check, let me compile those files (the
check method name is used in so many places, that I got tired of replacing
and didn't tried to build it all).

Any ideas on how can I know why gcc is misleading the symbol check? Maybe
some macro?

I'm using g++ 4.0 on an intel macbook.

I managed to compile Inkscape natively with GTK from macports on 10.4 and 10.5 recently, with the same version fo gcc. I don't know what jhbuild sets which is special and makes Inkscape choke. Have you tried something since your last message? Any advice from GTK/jhbuild maintainers? jhbuild seems to be the "official" way to compile GTK so it would be nice to have it working with Inkscape.

Any update on this after nearly 10 years? Maybe the problem has disappeared.

Assuming the problem is no longer relevant given there have been releases since the bug report was first filed.
