[Gimp-developer] Compilation error with GIMP git version

[Carmelo DrRaw <aferrero1975 gmail com>]

Dear developers,

I am getting the following compilation error with the current git version of GIMP, using gcc 4.8.5:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..  -I../.. -pthread -I/zzz/include/gtk-2.0 -I/zzz/lib/gtk-2.0/include

   for (gint x = 0; x < buf_size; x++)
   ^
file-pcx.c:943:3: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile your code
make[3]: *** [file-pcx.o] Error 1





The solution is simple, and consists of moving the declaration of

    gint x

in file-pcx.c outside of the for loop, for example immediately after 

    guchar  *line;

Hope this helps!
