[Slackbuilds-users] dvdauthor fails to build on Slackware64 current

[Richard]

When building dvdauthor on Slackware64 current I get the following error

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/etc\"" -I/usr/include/libxml2

This is a known bug that is fixed in the alpha version of dvdauthor.

https://github.com/ldo/dvdauthor/commit/5b890b47aaf6f692c876faf435e6bf8990e7a45d

It can be fixed here by including the "config.h" file in every c file that
includes the compat.h file.

Here is a "config.patch" to the source that makes it compile cleanly in
Slackware current:
