When I tried to emerge lcms on my system, it failed with the following message: >> Completed installing lcms-1.18-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1/image/ strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded -R .comment usr/bin/wtpt usr/bin/icc2ps usr/bin/icctrans usr/bin/tiffdiff usr/bin/icclink usr/bin/tifficc usr/bin/jpegicc usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_lcms.so usr/lib64/liblcms.so.1.0.18 usr/lib64/liblcms.a usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_lcms.a ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 /usr/share/man removing executable bit: usr/lib64/liblcms.la * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile * fine but exhibit random runtime failures. * cmsio1.c:118: warning: implicit declaration of function 'swab' * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. * Homepage: http://www.littlecms.com/ * * ERROR: media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1 failed. * Call stack: * misc-functions.sh, line 729: Called install_qa_check * misc-functions.sh, line 429: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * hasq stricter ${FEATURES} && die "install aborted due to" \ * The die message: * install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1/temp/environment'. * !!! post install failed; exiting. >>> Failed to emerge media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1/temp/build.log' * Messages for package media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1: * * ERROR: media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1 failed. * Call stack: * misc-functions.sh, line 729: Called install_qa_check * misc-functions.sh, line 429: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * hasq stricter ${FEATURES} && die "install aborted due to" \ * The die message: * install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/lcms-1.18-r1/temp/environment'. * There were two QA warnings which caused the error : 1)° src/cmsio1.c : implicit declaration of swap 2)° src/cmsio1.c : implicit declaration of strcasecmp. You'll find in attachment, a patch which solves the problem. Regards, Romain.
Created attachment 196549 [details, diff] Patch which solves the problem (probably needs to be renamed better)
In the description of your bug you posted the following: * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. * Homepage: http://www.littlecms.com/ Did you already contacted the lcms developers regarding this issue?

Because this error will happen again...
Just drop stricter from FEATURES and it will work. Maintaining such patches downstream just makes our life harder with no real benefit. So, please, show patch upstream, and make sure they apply it. I don't think they really opposed to fix build warning, but "random runtime failures" could really sound a little offensive for a good upstream.
