Bugzilla Bug 86444

Using overlay I tried to force an emerge of gnomesword-2.1.1 with ~amd64 but it
broke during compile with:

sword_main.cc: In member function `GList* BackEnd::fill_Bible_books(int)':
sword_main.cc:215: error: cannot convert `unsigned int*' to `gsize*' for
argument `5' to `gchar* g_convert(const gchar*, gssize, const gchar*, const
gchar*, gsize*, gsize*, GError**)'
make[3]: *** [sword_main.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gnomesword-2.1.1/work/gnomesword-2.1.1/src/backend'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gnomesword-2.1.1/work/gnomesword-2.1.1/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gnomesword-2.1.1/work/gnomesword-2.1.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This was obviously an amd64 related error.

After a fruitless search for a patch (although I note freebsd has a 64-bit
gnomesword in some form) a couple of minor adjustments to
src/backend/sword_main.cc fixed the error.

I don't know whether this is an upstream issue.  But:

I've whipped up a patch file and an ebuild that works in my overlay.  I am
extremely new to this and so please don't beat me over the head too much if I
am haven't followed conventions too well.

With my overlay ebuild and patch gnomesword builds on my amd64 and seems to run
as it should.  I'd like to share this minor success with others and perhaps see
gnomesword keyworded as ~amd64

I include my ebuild and patch as attachments

New ebuild that applies patch - seems to work

thanks, i added both the patch and testing keyword. fyi: it's not an amd64 but
a bug that is detected by gcc-3.4. you may also report it upstream.

Thanks.  I've reported upstream to the gnomesword sourceforge bug tracker.
