184396 - Build Failure with gcc-3.2.x in nsFontMetricsXft.h

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178128

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Gregory Cymbalski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

On GCC 3.2.x, and I /have/ tested with them all today, the compiler bails at
"nsFontMetricsXft.h:248: syntax error before `*' token".  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Get Mozilla from CVS and/or the tar.bz link above
2.  make it any way you like
3.  Wait.

Actual Results:  
In file included from nsGfxFactoryGTK.cpp:65:
nsFontMetricsXft.h:248: syntax error before `*' token
gmake[5]: *** [nsGfxFactoryGTK.o] Error 1
gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/mnt/ide2/src/phoenix-source/mozilla/gfx/src/gtk'
gmake[4]: *** [libs] Error 2
gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/mnt/ide2/src/phoenix-source/mozilla/gfx/src'
gmake[3]: *** [libs] Error 2

gmake[1]: *** [default] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/ide2/src/phoenix-source/mozilla'
gmake: *** [build] Error 2

Expected Results:  
Compiled successfully

I'm running gcc configured with: ../gcc-3.2.1/configure --prefix=/usr
--enable-shared --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads --verbose
--target=i386-slackware-linux --host=i386-slackware-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.1

on a Pentium III Katmai running Slackware 9.0 beta with the latest binutils as
of today, XFree86 4.2.1, Glib v. 1.2.10, GTK v. 1.2.10, Pango v. 0.14.0, with
Xft 2.0 and Freetype 2.  Though I'm currently trying to build Phoenix, I get the
exact same results with Mozilla.

Bugs in experimental builds are not blockers. Dup of bug 178128.
