[aur-general] surf-git doesn't build (for me, anyway)

hi.  surf-git

     https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surf-git/

gets an error when building with makepkg (see below).  the problem is
correctable by

     cp -p src/surf/config.def.h src/surf/config.h

i.e., copying the suckless-supplied "default" config.h (named
config.def.h) to the config.h used in the build, then doing a

     makepkg -e

(there are also config.h files in . and in ./src identical to the one
supplied in ./src/surf; i didn't need to change those and am not sure
what they are for.)

cheers, Greg


ps: here's the error (the older function scroll() in surf was split into
two, i guess):
