-Subject: [LIBGPG-ERROR PATCH] avoid breakage with gcc 5
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
- * src/Makefile.am: add -P to the C preprocessor when building
-   mkerrcodes.h, to avoid a noisy intermediate pipeline.
-

-
-With gcc 5 without this patch, we see many errors like the following:
-
-gcc -I. -I. -o mkerrcodes ./mkerrcodes.c
-In file included from ./mkerrcodes.c:26:0:
-./mkerrcodes.h:9:5: error: expected expression before ‘,’ token
-   { , "GPG_ERR_E2BIG" },
-     ^
-./mkerrcodes.h:10:5: error: expected expression before ‘,’ token
-   { , "GPG_ERR_EACCES" },
-     ^
-
-This patch cleans up the generated mkerrcodes.h by making the
-intermediate stage clean for all the versions of gcc i tested (4.x and
-5).
