Bug 267862 – =media-video/guvcview-1.0.5 fails to build due to a locale error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ivan 2009-04-29 12:21:15 UTC]

Same problem as before in bug #250495, except this time I don't have LC_ALL set (so that isn't the problem).  The same patch modified to suit the updated source fixes the problem.

The actual build error is:
guvcview.c: In function 'main':
guvcview.c:98: warning: implicit declaration of function 'setlocale'
guvcview.c:98: error: 'LC_ALL' undeclared (first use in this function)
guvcview.c:98: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
guvcview.c:98: error: for each function it appears in.)

Created attachment 189831 [details, diff]
Patch to fix the locale problem

Note that I'm not sure how to actually create patches properly (I used to follow a guide a dev had on his website, which is no longer available :s ), so I created this patch by editing the previous one and by "guess-work".  A better version should probably be made for inclusion into the tree.

in tree, thanks.. I mailed this upstream, but he forgot or ignored it. Want to try contacting him?

[Comment 3 Ivan 2009-04-30 08:09:13 UTC]

Sent an email with the patch attached to [e-mail].

Paulo Assis, the developer of guvcview, has added this to svn so that future releases won't need it.
