Bug 97795 – ksh gcc 4 build failure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2005-07-03 02:36:32 UTC]

When I tried to install ksh-93.20050202, it complained that the ast library could not be found. (And because it insists on building with -k, the error message for the failure while building libast was not initially shown. Any chance of ripping that out?) It's the usual problem - static definition in .c, extern declaration in .h. And as usual, removing the declaration in the header file makes it compile. Will attach a patch.

gcc-4 fix

This was the fix that Fedora and Debian used.  I run into another build problem though.

gcc-4.1 is going to be unmasked relatively soon, so it would be nice to get a fix for this.

Thanks

The original patch is what went in official ksh (and a version bump would now be possible to fix this too). I haven't yet checked if the syntax errors are fixed in that newer version too though.

Hi,

I put a gcc4 patch from fedora into ksh-93.20060214-r1.ebuild.
It builds fine on a gcc-3.4.6, does it work now on gcc4?
Could you test, thanks :-)

[Comment 5 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2006-05-11 23:21:26 UTC]

Thanks, but could you remove it again, please? As noted earlier, this was already fixed in the latest version; the bug simply wasn't closed when that version was added.

[Comment 6 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) 2006-05-12 07:28:49 UTC]

Drat, sorry. I see the fix went in.

Removed the patch.
