Bug 272602 – media-sound/sidplay: fails to build with glibc-2.10

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-06-04 12:11:09 UTC]

There are a few changes in glibc-2.10 that might make your software fail to build with it, please refer to my blog post [1] if you're not sure what the problem is.

And no I don't usually provide emerge --info with these bugs because they are caused by glibc-2.10!

Thanks, Diego

# Samuli Suominen <[e-mail]> (19 Jul 2009)
# Doesn't compile wrt #272602. ALSA support broken wrt #98769.
# No upstream. Masked for removal.

Fix compilation with glibc-2.10.1 and also remove some warnings

It would be a pity to see this nice package die just because a few lines
need to be patched. The attached patch is a bit longer since it also fixes
the "obsolete conversion" warnings.

I do not know what should be wrong w.r.t. autotools - here it compiles fine
and shows no strange warnings.
Moreover, although alsa output from bug 98769 would be nice, it works fine
with oss (also with oss emulation of alsa): Also many other packages have
problems with alsa (e.g. mplayer is on my system unusable with alsa).

Try to eautoreconf it for example; it's a prereq to get the ALSA bug fixed... since it modifies configure.in, IIRC.
