[MINC-development] Fwd: Bug#394071: Trouble using minc headers with gcc >= 4.0

[Steve Robbins]

Hello MINC developers,

The provided patch (for MINC 1) replaces use of "Status" by  
"VIO_Status" to avoid a compiler error building freesurfer.  Does that  
appear to be a reasonable idea to you folks?  If so, shall I attempt  
to commit it?

Thanks,
-Steve

P.S. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=394071 for  
the patch.

Hi,

I'm packaging a software that depends on the minc library. Compiling
the package I get an error when using gcc 4.0 or 4.1 (gcc 3.4 is fine):

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

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

I contacted upstream about this issue and learned that they use a
patched version of minc to address this problem. They kindly provided me
with the patch (courtesy of Nick Schmansky).

I'm not completely sure whether one could handle this situation without
modifying minc, though.


Please consider including this patch into the Debian package.



Thanks,

Michael
