Re: [Swftools-common] Compiling SWFTools by using an alternative compiler

[Pablo Beltran]

But the fix does not work... even if I apply the changes by hand. The problem is in this part:

---------------------------------

@@ -3404,7 +3395,7 @@

 #include <stdlib.h>

 #include <stdio.h>

 

-int main (int argc, char*argv)

+int main (int argc, char*argv[])

 {

     int a,b;

     b=3;

---------------------------------

In the SWFTools 0.9.2 the content is:

int main ()

without any argument.

I tried all the possible combinations:

int main (int argc, char*argv)

int main (int argc, char*argv[])

without success.

Well, as it seems an useless test then I simply removed the return 1 statement if it fails. So, configure shows the error message and goes on.

And then in the next comment I said:

"Actually, that's the problem we had in another port, but with swftools, I see they just wrote their test wrong. Fixed in r88456."
