Summary0004436: build fails with jpeg 9b (redefinition of enumerator 'FALSE', redefinition of enumerator 'TRUE')
DescriptionI'm the maintainer of libextractor and jpeg in the MacPorts package management system, trying to figure out how best to fix this build failure of libextractor 1.3 on OS X 10.11.4 with jpeg 9b:

I've attached the full MacPorts log file.
Additional InformationYou'll probably see the same build failure with an unpatched jpeg 9a. In MacPorts, I have patched jpeg 9a so that this problem does not occur, but the developer of jpeg told us that this is not the correct solution and that each program that uses jpeg should be fixed instead. Here is some more info on that:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42735#comment:8

So I would like to update MacPorts jpeg to 9b and remove our patch, but doing so will cause this libextractor build failure.

Here is the patch I am now using for libextractor in MacPorts to work around this problem:

https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/libextractor/files/patch-src-plugins-jpeg_extractor.c.diff

It now builds on OS X with or without my jpeg patch. However I'm not sure that this libextractor patch is correct for use on Windows, because the jpeg headers define the boolean type differently on Windows (typedef unsigned char boolean) than they do on other operating systems (typedef int boolean). I'm not certain how the developers of jpeg intend for this type of situation to be handled by other library/application developers -- whether they are expected to reproduce that different boolean typedef.

Should be fixed in SVN 37101.
