Hi.

I've just received a notice that espeak does not build with GCC 4.3.

This is because of the following piece of code in debug.h:

#define SHOW(format,...)

The compiler says:

> g++ -O2 -Wall -fpic -fvisibility=hidden -pedantic \
>       -I. -D LIBRARY -c -fno-exceptions speak_lib.cpp  -o x_speak_lib.o
> In file included from speak_lib.cpp:43:
> debug.h:19:21: error: anonymous variadic macros were introduced in C99

I guess (untested) you need to add "-std=c99" to CFLAGS.

Package: espeak
Version: 1.29-1
Usertags: ftbfs-gcc-4.3

Your package fails to build with GCC 4.3.  Version 4.3 has not been
released yet but I'm building with a snapshot in order to find errors
and give people an advance warning.  You can find an explanation for
the build failure at
http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc/blog/entries/variadic-macros

You can reproduce this problem with gcc-snapshot from unstable.  Note
that Red Hat, Novell and Ubuntu have done some work getting packages
to build with GCC 4.3 so there might be patches floating around
somewhere.  I suggest you talk to your upstream.
