Bug 10156 – Possible emake numeric overflow (display only?)

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuel Greenfeld 2002-11-03 17:10:53 UTC]

The recent KDE issues have shown emake (ebuild?) to possibly be overflowing a
value, or otherwise doing something silly while calculating line numbers. 

   The following comes froms a failed build of kdebase-3.0.4:

-----------------------
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../..
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/kde/3/include -I/usr/qt/3/include

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.

-----------------------

   As can be guessed, -6662 is not a valid line number.

has to do with eclass inheritance

This bug has died from old age. ;)

If it's still relevant, please reopen and advise.
