Unfortunately that doesn't work.
It's not a linking problem (which your trick could have solved
potentially) but a problem of conflicting prototypes in "compress.h"
and <zlib.h>:
In file included from compress.c:54:
/usr/include/zlib.h:1283:21: error: conflicting types for 'uncompress2'
ZEXTERN int ZEXPORT uncompress2 OF((Bytef *dest, uLongf *destLen,
^
./compress.h:39:5: note: previous declaration is here
int uncompress2(unsigned char **buffer);
(The second problem is that I wrote compress2 by accident. You'd need
"#undef uncompress2" in your compress.c patch, and the patch for
docprop_write.c is not necessary)
Unless you have another clever idea, I suggest to go with my original
diff, pointing to your hosted tarball and with 'make update-plist'.
