Hey All,
First off, I have my flame-suit on --just-in-case--, because I suspect I might be posting in the wrong section.
I ran into a bit of a snafu while building a rare-to-FreeBSD bit of source code. For this reason, and the fact that the file in question resides in /usr/local/share/aclocal/ and requires all of 2 characters (literally 2 square braces, less significant) added for the fix, I thought I'd drop it here for someone with better access to filing patches to important sections of the OS. I haven't been snouting around enough to know if this file is actually provided by some particular port of package (aclocal or gdk?).
The filename is /usr/local/share/aclocal/gdk-pixbuf.m4 and the line in question is line 12, and appears as:
And needs 2 brackets added, so:
When compiling software that calls on this particular snippet of code, you'll get a bunch of warning-spam to the terminal...which appears not to be crucial or fatal to finishing compilation. I can't be entirely sure of this, due to my (very) limited use of anything that uses this snippet.
Once the 2 brackets [ & ] are added, all's happy again, and your terminal won't yell at you anymore.
Moderators: my gratitude for/if moving this post to where it needs to be.
