On Gentoo unstable (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"), gcc-2.3.1-r6 breaks licq-1.2.0a-r2 compilation. It works fine with revision -r5 (same CFLAGS), though! g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -Wall -I../include -DINSTALL_PREFIX=\"/usr\" -fPIC -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -s -march=athlon-4 -mcpu=athlon-4 -m3dnow -mmmx -msse -O2 -pipe -fforce-addr -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -mfpmath=sse -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -c icqpacket.cpp licq.cpp: In member function `int CLicq::Main()': licq.cpp:684: invalid conversion from `short unsigned int' to `time_t*' make[2]: *** [licq.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/licq-1.2.0a-r2/work/licq-1.2.0a/src' I've tried licq's CVS, too, which gives the exact same error. The gcc changelog says: "Update with patches from Redhat". This is particularly controversial seeing that some time ago, RedHat patched gcc 2.95.3 and called it 2.96. This patched gcc is known to break stuff - mplayer, for instance.
its not the compiler :) its a type-cast problem in the code which i just corrected. i'll commit the patch later today
commited fix in -r3, but marked it ~x86 (unstable/testing). please test and let me know if problems encountered. if it works for you, reopen and we'll mark it stable.
Thanks - works just fine for me now :-)
Reopened as requested. (Didn't know I needed to comment when changing status, hence this extra comment.)
thanks. marked as stable x86. should be able to rsync the updated -r3 shortly. Matt
