Building apps that link to ImageMagick 6.8.8-4 on MacOS X 10.7 can fail with the error

  ^

Evidently magick/method-attribute.h (and wand/method-attribute.h) have an incomplete compiler version check. Here's what I see there:

• #if defined(__clang__) || (((__GNUC__) > 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 4) &&
  (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3)))
  # define magick_alloc_size(x) __attribute__((__alloc_size__(x)))
  # define magick_alloc_sizes(x,y) __attribute__((__alloc_size__(x,y)))
  # define magick_cold_spot __attribute__((__cold__))
  # define magick_hot_spot __attribute__((__hot__))
  #else
  ...
  #endif

The clang I'm using is

• $ clang++ --version
  Apple LLVM version 4.2 (clang-425.0.28) (based on LLVM 3.2svn)
  Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2
  Thread model: posix

Unfortunately,

• #if defined(__has_attribute) && __has_attribute(__hot__)

is true on this compiler, and version number checking in clang is hard per http://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/Compilers/
so a real fix might be hard.

If it's of interest, here's the commandline that failed:

• clang++ -I /Users/buildbot/slave-state/osx107/g-speak-rbb-osx107-1/sandbox-osx107-master3_13/build/gtest/include

We'll add a patch to ImageMagick 6.8.8-8 Beta to fix the problem you reported. Thanks.

The patch helped, but a related problem remains. I will post on a new thread about the next problem.
