Bugzilla Bug 130462

the current version 3.4.10 of app-doc/doc++ is from 2002 o_O

in between something has changed in flex, such that the current doc++ package
does not compile.

i've found a patch via google:
http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/develop/docpp/flex-hotfix.patch

i've renamed the patch to doc++-3.4.10-flex.patch and updated the 3.4.10 ebuild
to 3.4.10-r1 (i'll attach it here)

the patched version works. tested on x86. but since the problem seems to be an
issue with the flex-syntax, i would assume it applies to all platforms.

the patch

the patch - i've stripped the comments but i don't know if that actually a good
idea, because it contained the license - does a patch need a license? well -
luckily i'm no maintainer... ;)

Here's an alternate patch.  It doesn't change the output of the program at all.

I hereby certify that I am the original author of this patch, and I release it
to the public domain.

I can verify that the patch works fine and allows doc++-3.4.10-r1.ebuild to
compile on x86.

doc++-3.4.10.ebuild is the current (and only) doc++ ebuild which doesn't
compile on current stable systems, thus blocking any package that depends on
doc++.

I'll commit this in a minute.

and closing bug.
