Hi,
everytime i try to build ratpoison i get the following error:
history.c:78: error: static declaration of 'getline' follows non-static declaration
/usr/include/stdio.h:651: note: previous declaration of 'getline' was here
make[2]: *** [history.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sveri/abs/ratpoison/src/ratpoison-1.4.4/src'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sveri/abs/ratpoison/src/ratpoison-1.4.4/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
After asking in #ratpoison they hinted me that the HAVE_GETLINE
macro is lacking in config.h.
This happens whith the git version in aur and when i try to compile
the 1.4.4 by hand.
I know i can solve it by adding the macro with my hand, but that
would mean others could stumble upon it too.
Should i report a bug?

My ratpoison-git PKGBUILD is slightly different, but builds without issues for me. You could try it. It's based off of the 1.4.3 PKGBUILD but pulls the source from GIT. Also the "--with-xft" configure option is unnecessary since it will use xft by default. The option would be to build wihout it, "--without-xft". To my knowlege some fonts still don't work well with this feature enabled. See this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 15#p559715 for details.

This problem persists and it is unclear if it is a bug with glibc or with ratpoison. I would think that a patch should be created for ratpoison as the compile error is probably by design. Anyone have any ideas for this? The 1.4.3 version of ratpoison is unaffected, but 1.4.4 and git both suffer from this.
Wra!th have you run into this issue? I know you were playing with the git version for a while.
[UPDATE]
The upgrade to readline 6.0 prevents ratpoison packages built against readline 5.x from from loading properly. This is because ratpoison is looking for libhistory.so.5 which is provided by readline-5.2. See the bug report here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15182
[UPDATE]
See the post here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14868?string=ratpoison
Looks like it's an upstream bug.

Hooray! ratposion-git PKGBUILD works again. See the patch upstream here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/ratpoison.git
A check for getline has been added to configure.in and manually adding it is no longer needed.
