tags 778025 + patch thanks Here are fixes for the gcc-5 build issue with netrek-client-cow.
The attached patch adds the followings, - -std=gn89 to CFLAGS in debian/rules, a work around to instruct gcc-5 to use gnu-89 semantics for inline function declarations - -P to CPPFLAGS when checking for GMP 2, a work around for gcc-5 preprocessor started to emit line markers to properly distinguish whether a macro token comes from a system header So the package is able to build without any error. Thanks, Mak.
