Hello,
this is a mail I sended to the groff list. The result of an analysis had been
that there is a bug in gnulibs wcwidth(3) implementation. In groff's build
process the return value of wcwidth(3) is tested which failes on current NetBSD
and FreeBSD. Then gnulibs wcwidth is used which also does not work.
I'm not on this list so please include me in CC in case of any questions.
Carsten

Betreff: Build of groff fails on NetBSD
Hello,
the build of the git repository fails on NetBSD 6.1.5:
$ make
make all-am
g++ -g -O2 -o grn src/preproc/grn/hdb.o src/preproc/grn/hpoint.o
src/preproc/grn/hgraph.o src/preproc/grn/main.o lib/libgnu.a libgroff.a -lm

*** Error code 1
I did install autoconf, automake, libtool, then ./bootstrap, ./configure, make.
./configure did not complain.
$ g++ --version
