Bugzilla Bug 230043

bitpim 1.0.5 is the only remaining bitpim atom in portage. Using gcc 4.3.1, an
attempt to build bitpim always dies with complaints of "error: XXXX was not
declared in this scope" where memcpy, strncpy, and memset are the funtions
(XXXX), and avi_file.cxx and bmp_file.cxx are the source files generating the
complaint. Reading bug reports like 229063, I believe that this is a gcc 4.3
issue. I have not tried to compile with other versions of gcc. Bitpim is not
important enough to me to revert.

Reproducible: Always

Adding "#include <cstring>"
to both the avi_file.cxx and the bmp_file.cxx
will resolve this issue.

bitpim-1.0.5 patch for GCC 4.3

New ebuild for bitpim-1.0.5 with GCC 4.3 patch

With this ebuild and the patch, bitpim 1.0.5 compiled happily for me. However,
bitpim itself still silently dies when I run it. This has happened (without the
gcc issues involved) several times for me in the past when python, wxpython, or
bitpim have updated. I've already rebuild python/wxpython, and bitpim still
does the silent death routine, but hey, at least it builds.

Did you saw any QA notices while building wxpython or bitpim?

According to bug 230363, bitpim-1.0.5 needs on dev-python/apsw-3.3.13.1. Please
check if the new version of apsw fixes your problem.

I just rebuilt both wxpython and bitpim. No QA notices in either one.
Apsw fixes the silent bitpim death at runtime (Thank You!).
It seems the poster of bug 230363 is correct, and bitpim SHOULD depend on apsw.

I still need the patch I posted above to get bitpim to compile with gcc 4.3.
Older gcc versions will auto-inlcude simple libs that are not #included like
<cstring>, it seems. 4.3 will not.

Fixed in cvs, without revision bump. Thanks!
