W.: Build of groff fails on NetBSD

[carsten . kunze]

Hello,

this is a mail I sended to the groff list. The result of an analysis had been 
that there is a bug in gnulibs wcwidth(3) implementation. In groff's build 
process the return value of wcwidth(3) is tested which failes on current NetBSD 
and FreeBSD. Then gnulibs wcwidth is used which also does not work.

I'm not on this list so please include me in CC in case of any questions.

Carsten

Betreff: Build of groff fails on NetBSD

Hello,

the build of the git repository fails on NetBSD 6.1.5:

$ make 
make  all-am
g++  -g -O2    -o grn src/preproc/grn/hdb.o  src/preproc/grn/hpoint.o  
src/preproc/grn/hgraph.o  src/preproc/grn/main.o lib/libgnu.a libgroff.a -lm 
libgroff.a(libgroff_a-font.o): In function `font::get_width(glyph*, int)':
/home/carsten/work/download/computer/software/unix/roff/groff/groff/src/libs/libgroff/font.cpp:386:

/home/carsten/work/download/computer/software/unix/roff/groff/groff/src/libs/libgroff/font.cpp:964:

*** Error code 1

I did install autoconf, automake, libtool, then ./bootstrap, ./configure, make.
./configure did not complain.

$ g++ --version
