There is no fix suggested by fontforge upstream. They said the upstream
of mensis is dead and it will be a lot of task to make it work with new
fontforge. So it should be decided if we intend to keep mensis in Debian
or drop it.

Yeah right, but its no longer provided in new fontforge. Upstream also
mentioned same.

In unstable this is provided by:
  /usr/include/fontforge/basics.h:extern void *grealloc(void *,long size);

Here it looks like the problem is in mensis?. I mean grealloc undefined
reference is raising from makenomenh.c which is part of mensis. But I do
agree the headers are slightly messed which can be reported to fontforge
upstream. A quick google shows grealloc is defined in graphviz library
is it a dependency for mensis?.. ¹

 Some header files in libfontforge-dev seem to be wrong.

Bug#840393: mensis: FTBFS with newly released fontforge

[Vasudev Kamath]

Source: mensis
Severity: serious
User: pkg-fonts-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: fontforge-transition

Dear Maintainer,

mensis fails to build from source with fontforge version 20161005 from
experimental. It fails in the configure step with following error

checking fontforge/basics.h usability... no
checking fontforge/basics.h presence... no
checking for fontforge/basics.h... no
You must install the include files for fontforge
before building mensis.
debian/rules:29: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_configure' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<>'
debian/rules:22: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

The full buildlog is available at ¹. New version of fontforge is already in
experimental. We plan to upload the newer version to unstable in about a week
time. If you need any further help please feel free to contact us. (Fonts team).
