How to fix beanstalkd 1.4.6 compile error (MacPorts)
Just a informational gist if you plan to install "beanstalkd" via MacPorts and get a compiler error:
:info:build net.c: In function 'make_server_socket':
:info:build net.c:35: warning: 'fd' may be used uninitialized in this function
:info:build make[1]: *** [net.o] Error 1
:info:build make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
This is a known issue within the "net.c" file. I've found a diff[1] for said file on the web and applied it locally which then allowed me to install the port without problems.
If your install fails like:
