for some reason upgradees don't seem to see this necessarily... but here is what I get when trying to merge plotutils (prereq for gnuplot) c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./../include -DLIBPLOT -DLIBPLOTTER -march=athlon-xp -O3 -fgcse -fomit-frame-pointer -Wno-deprecated -pipe -c g_write.cc -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/g_write.lo g_write.cc: In function `void _write_bytes(const plPlotterData*, int, const unsigned char*)': g_write.cc:43: invalid conversion from `const unsigned char*' to `const char*' g_write.cc:43: initializing argument 1 of `std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>& std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>::write(const _CharT*, int) [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>]' make[2]: *** [g_write.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/plotutils-2.4.1-r1/work/plotutils-2.4.1/libplotter' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/plotutils-2.4.1-r1/work/plotutils-2.4.1' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
Created attachment 1543 [details, diff] adds an explicit typecast so gcc 3.1 will compile I had the same problem but fixed with this patch (it does a typecast in libplotter/g_write.cc).
Created attachment 1544 [details, diff] _really_ makes gcc-3.1 compile plotutils Ohoh, I was too fast and optimistic. The former patch indeed solved that particular problem, but there were some others (all suffered from typecasts in write - I am not sure that this is the clean way, but at least you can merge gnuplot) So it obsoletes my "1543: adds an explicit typecast so gcc 3.1 will compile" usage: - copy "plotutils-2.4.1-gcc-3.1.patch" to "/usr/portage/media-libs/plotutils/files/" - patch "plotutils-2.4.1-r1.ebuild" (e.g.: in "/usr/portage/" do "patch -p0 < path/to/plotutils-2.4.1-r1.ebuild.patch") - emerge plotutils I hope this also works for you.
Thanks I'm testing, if it compiles I"ll go ahead and commit it!
done.
