Bug 106132 – Build fix for x11-misc/xplore on uclibc-based systems

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description René Rhéaume (a.k.a. repzilon, rener) 2005-09-15 18:03:53 UTC]

Xplore does not build on uclibc as is because it uses the sys_errlist array
instead of the strerror function (c.f.
http://www.geocities.com/robm351/uclibc/index-3.html). I prepared a patch to
correct this issue. strerror is defined in the POSIX standard, so it works other
libcs too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge x11-misc/xplore

Actual Results:  
Emerge failed

Expected Results:  
xplore merged into the root file system

this is something that the X team should do for all libc's, not just uclibc

Don't see how this is x11.

indeed, my bad ... glancing at the name i assumed it was modular X
