Bugzilla Bug 93797

Hi,

transcode-1.0.0_beta3 fails to compile on ppc64. output follows. transcode redoes a typeset, which is also present in the kernel headers.

plasmaroo takes bug. thx!

I have fixed this bug on my ppc64 box.  The conflict was that RTjpegN.h
redefines some typedefs that the 
linux kernel set in asm/types.h  But actually we should not use these types but
preferably those from 
standard C that come with glibc, namely sys/types.h  I have fixed all affected
files (three .c files and the 
said header file) and created a patch and edited the ebuild.  Please test on
all platforms as this patch 
should work for all and I have set its arch to all.

patch to fix types conflict

transcode-1.0.1.ebuild

includes patch to fix asm/types.h conflict

Just try editing RTjpegN.h and change:

#ifndef _I386_TYPES_H

to

#ifndef __u64

... which seems like a much simpler solution.

I've added transcode-1.0.2-r2 to portage, which contains the correct patch.

Arches: This adds support for ppc64, but changes code used on all arches. So I
dropped your keywords. Please test and readd your keyword.

~sparc'd

keyworded ~amd64 ~ppc

~x86 added

Markus, next time please CC media-video@gentoo.org at least, at least we'll
know what's going on...

I'm sorry. Now that you remember me: I wanted to look up, why I couldn't add
video@gentoo.org to CC (as in *herd*@gentoo.org). Now I know it should have
been media-video@g.o.

Marking as FIXED. All arches readded their keyword.
