This looks like a problem with lesstif-0.95.0; I get the same
VendorShellClassRec error when compiling xpdf.  While I don't know whether it's
the correct fix, moving the line
    #include <X11/ShellP.h>
to below the
    #ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
    #endif
in /usr/include/Xm/VendorSP.h solved the problem for me.

Does 0.94.4 work, or is it broken as well?

i use lesstif-0.94.4 and xpdf compilation also fail.

Maybe try w/ openmotif instead, then...

this works ! Thanks.

Well, one more reason to get rid of lesstif, the broken motif-config thingy &
co. 

*** Bug 199554 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Going away, nothing to fix here...

Reopening for removal; will be done as soon as Bug 204265 is finished.

This would be a disaster for me, I need some software that doesn't compile with
openmotif, only with lesstif. Therefore I hope you do not remove the package.

(In reply to comment #12)

You are welcome to maintain it in your overlay. The reasons for removal have
been states numerous times, see Bug 204249 and the dependent bugs.

Reassigning to treecleaners.

Package.masked, since lesstif is not installable anyway.

Here are some thoughts:
In case that this package should be revived, it IMHO makes only sense with
mutual blockers between openmotif and lesstif. See bug 29388, bug 117458, and
the bugs depending on bug 204249 for the reasons why motif-config cannot work;
no need to repeat it once again.

However, we already know that many packages in the tree do not work properly
with lesstif. It is not-quite Motif 2.1, incomplete, orders of magnitude more
buggy, and even uglier than the original (one wouldn't think that this is
possible ;-) ).

So, about the only reason to prefer lesstif could be the licence issue. But in
this case, it would be paradoxical to have openmotif installed alongside
lesstif, and we could have the mutual blockers as well.

In short: I am for removing it (but I don't have a vote).

I don't see why slotted versions does not work. After all, don't they have
different SONAMEs? Shouldn't that be enough?

(In reply to comment #16)

Maybe you should re-read the previous comment and act accordingly before
commenting here.

(In reply to comment #16)

No, since the libraries are not everything, there are also header files and
binaries (like mwm). See again the references that I have cited in comment #15.

And it doesn't work to have both packages installed at the same time; the
following line from openmotif-2.2.3-r9.ebuild pretty much summarizes it:

    emake -j1 || die "make failed, if you have lesstif installed removed it,    
    compile openmotif and recompile lesstif"

(In reply to comment #17)
> Maybe you should re-read the previous comment and act accordingly before

I did read those bugs you mentioned but I'm afraid it seems to mostly be
different developers fighting each other, rather than trying to fix issues. As
far as I know different versions of a library can co-exist. ABI is incompatible
sure, but portage should record the needed information for that IMO. Lesstif
and openmotif got partly incompatible APIs. That is much worse and means having
to provide alternatives.

After all, GCC broke the C++ ABI a few times (I think). No one objected to
that. Both gcc 3.x and gcc 4.x are still provided, slotted.

(In reply to comment #18)
> No, since the libraries are not everything, there are also header files and

Uhh, IMO a window manager does not belong in same package as a programming
library for general use. Should be a separate package.

For header files you got a point, but other packages manages, for example,
wx-config --version=2.6 --unicode=yes and so on.

That looks broken. OpenMotif is clearly broken if it can't handle lesstif being
installed. It should be reported upstream IMO.

Please, stop producing more noise on this bug before doing a basic research at
least. Seriously - once and for all. I'm going to restrict the bug to prevent
totally unproductive noise otherwise.

These two packages are basically two implementations of the exact same thing.
Complaining that they can't be installed at the same time is like complaining
that cdrkit and cdrtools can't be installed at the same time.

They are *not* binary compatible -> they cannot co-exist on the system in a
sane way. Tested and it does NOT work. Please, save us from more completely
uninformed comments.

the only way wxGTK installing two different versions side by side works is it
was _designed that way_.  The headers are installed in version separated
directories and written in a way that the correct version will be used.

slotted gcc versions work because they are _designed to_.

and in both cases, you're talking about different versions of the same project.
 but here we're talking about two completely different projects.  they simply
cannot be installed together.  this isn't an uncommon thing.  most packages
providing a virtual can't be installed together.

What is the proper approach for contesting something like this because you
consider the non-libre alternative morally wrong? (Besides switching to Debian)

(In reply to comment #22)
> What is the proper approach for contesting something like this because

Please read comment #13 and comment #15 again.

Or find a developer for us who is going to maintain the lesstif package.
Preferably, it should be someone who has never looked at the openmotif source
code (because of the licence issue: he might be in the situation that he has to
submit patches upstream).

(In reply to comment #22)
> What is the proper approach for contesting something like this because you
> consider the non-libre alternative morally wrong? (Besides switching to Debian)

I think switching to Debian is an excellent solution... seriously. You've
chosen a a wrong distribution if you consider 'non-libre' software to be
immoral.

so...? Remove it or what?

About time; noone can install it.

Let's vote then, treecleaners, +1 from me

+2 - voting doesn't make much sense here, it is not installable at all because
it depends on its own blocker (motif-config blocks lesstif now).

I was able to install x11-libs/lesstif-0.95.0 with paludis on an amd64 machine.
openmotif is no Free Software and that's why no option for me.

(In reply to comment #29)
> I was able to install x11-libs/lesstif-0.95.0 with paludis on an amd64 machine.

If paludis ignores the blockers in place, you should file a bug about it.

> openmotif is no Free Software and that's why no option for me.

So maintain it in your own overlay. Been explained over and over again, this
doesn't bring anything new here. 

Since nothing is happening here, I have now committed the ebuild that I had in
my private overlay since three months:

  +files/lesstif-0.95.0-vendorsp-cxx.patch, +lesstif-0.95.0-r1.ebuild:
  Ebuild completely rewritten: SLOTting is finally gone. Install libraries,
  include files, and man pages in their standard locations. No more need for
  motif-config and profile manipulation. Libtool tweaks to fix linkage against
  already installed version are no longer needed. Fix issue with inclusion
  of VendorSP.h in C++ code, original issue of bug 193505, patch extracted
  from upstream CVS. Update LICENSE: add libXpm; add GPL-2 and FVWM for mwm.
  Dependencies scrutinised and fixed: libXft/freetype is needed also at run
  time, remove unnecessary libXaw and perl, remove redundant printproto.
  Block against openmotif and motif-config.

Of course this fixes none of the issues that packages are broken with LessTif.
Therefore I suggest that we leave it in package.mask indefinitely, to make
clear that it is an unsupported package and that users are on their own if they
use it.

Reassigning to maintainer-needed again. (Treecleaners, take it back if you
disagree.)

I shall remove the old revisions 0.94.4 and 0.95.0 together with removal of
x11-libs/motif-config (bug 117057) in a few days. This implies dropping of all
keywords to unstable, but the stable version isn't installable anyway.

Another year has passed, so probably it's time to reopen this bug. Last
upstream release was three years ago.

Reassigning to treecleaners, since I'd like to know your opinion on this.

Vote for removal unless someone is willing to keep it maintained.

I will update the mask when the treecleaner queue gets processed in a few days.

30 days left for this one.

This fix works perfectly, thanks for the help

# LessTif is unsupported since it has open issues with several packages.
# See bug 193505 and bug 204249. You are on your own here.
