Hi! I am trying to build Ruby bindings for libvirt 0.4.1. I have checked out ruby-libvirt from mercurial repository, but it fails during the build: # rake build (in /home/lord/tmp/ruby-libvirt) make gcc -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux - I. -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions - fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 - mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -Wall -fPIC -c _libvirt.c _libvirt.c:165: error: expected Б─≤,Б─≥ or Б─≤;Б─≥ before Б─≤{Б─≥ token make: *** [_libvirt.o] Error 1 rake aborted! Command failed with status (2): [make...] /home/lord/tmp/ruby-libvirt/Rakefile:52 (See full trace by running task with --trace) The offending line is: NORETURN(static void vir_error(virConnectPtr conn, const char *fn)) { rb_raise(rb_eSystemCallError, "libvir call %s failed", fn); } removing NORETURN macro around function definition eliminates the error and all tests pass: # rake test (in /home/lord/tmp/ruby-libvirt) Loaded suite /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.3/lib/rake/ rake_test_loader Started .....
