the header file mmsx.h uses reserved keyword "this" as variable name

I try to compile libmediainfo for Arch Linux
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22150
To enable support for mms I modified the PKGBUILD:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-libcurl --with-libmms

but compilation fails:

In file included from ../../../Source/MediaInfo/Reader/Reader_libmms.cpp:41:
/usr/include/libmms/mmsx.h:58: Fehler: expected »,« or »...« before »this«
/usr/include/libmms/mmsx.h:60: Fehler: expected »,« or »...« before »this«
/usr/include/libmms/mmsx.h:62: Fehler: expected »,« or »...« before »this«

Replacing *this with *instance in mmsx.h solves the problem.

[Hans de Goede (j-w-r-degoede)]

Note: moving to launchpad did not completely play out as planned, as the current only active developer for this projects (me) prefers git over bzr libmms has moved back to sf.net.

This is fixed in the latest upstream release:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmms/libmms/0.6/libmms-0.6.tar.gz

Closing this bug.

Bug was not fixed, mmsx.h was not changed between version 0.5 and 0.6, patch is still required.
