dont know what you really expect us to do ... i for one dislike trying to fix broken C++ code the error you posted looks very much like the source is broken, not gcc as a lazy workaround, why dont you do what the error says: if you use `-fpermissive', G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated

Or is it too ugly and evil? (I don't know, just asking.)
> Fix the package somehow :-) or mask it, probably. that's for the maintainer to do > Is it possible to add it to the CFLAGS inside of ebuild so it won't fail during compilation? as a quick lazy solution, you could do 'append-flags -fpermissive' in the ebuild before running configure/make ... but really you should work with upstream to get this fixed (assuming it hasnt already) because it'll just break again down the road with newer gcc versions
Easiest just to mark the following stable on affected archs: app-accessibility/epos-2.5.35-r1 app-text/sgmltools-lite-3.0.3-r10 No porting necessary for those versions.
Alright, this is still broken. Are the versions I listed ready to go stable?
Someone, anyone from either herd? It would be great to get this fixed.
I'm not the one responsible for DocBook in text-markup, but as far as I can see there are no open bugs (the latest bug there was is approx a year old) and all deps are marked stable on all archs (w3m is not on all, but lynx are). So from my point of view sgmltools-lite should be ready for stable.
ppc, x86, can we get y'all to mark app-accessibility/epos-2.5.35-r1 stable? For some reason the ppc keyword was dropped, and it will need to be readded to resolve this issue.
i've done some basic testing with epos-2.5.37 [ -portaudio ] on x86. to do that, i pulled in sgmltools-lite-3.0.3-r10 [ +tetex ] from ~86. my results: compiles and passes all tests. i fooled around with 'say-epos' a bit and it seems to work more or less: $ say-epos 'hallo' hal@lo## ... #T however: what is this 'T' at the end (or better: the rather strange sound associated to it) ?

Much of it is the fact that epos is a multi-lingual text to speech engine (and not a very wonderful one at that). It's under heavy development and is at least understandable, which is why it's in portage. For example, my output: $ say-epos 'hallo' ha~lo######~T I'm not entirely sure what all the ###'s and {~}T's are. Most people use the epos daemon or to make .wav files; the #'s and T's have been there since the first version in portage on all supported architectures and don't seem to have a bearing on what the program is actually doing.
before anything else: as you may have realized i was testing the wrong version the first time (see comment #10). These are my results for epos-2.5.35-r1 [ -portaudio ]. the first things i've noticed: a.) epos get's compiled with -ggdb although i don't have -ggdb in my CFLAGS. b.) all tests are ok. after that: a.) say-epos <some_string> works, even without these strange noises at the end. b.) never try '# say-epos --language latin test': after doing that epos never said a word again :-( but seems to suffer from a serious memory leak. Restarting eposd didn't help either, epos remains dumb till now. summing-up: epos-2.5.35-r1 seems to have serious problems and shouldn't be stabilized in my opinion. I think that epos-2.5.37 may be a better candidate, allthough it has issues of it's own. I'll take a closer look at this version soon ...
Jon: if, in your own words, this isn't that wonderful of a tool, why don't we just remove the version that we have stable and call it a day? :) Give it more time to develop before we try and stablize it again.
unfortunatly my results for epos-2.5.37 [ -portaudio ] are the same; thus follwoing mark's advice in comment #13 seems to be the only reasonable thing to do.
I moved the only stable version we had back to ~x86 since it doesn't compile with our stable GCC. If after you have addressed the problems we found with the new version you still want us to mark it stable, please add us back to the bug.
I've done the same for ppc (marked ~ppc), please re-add us if you do want to go through with the stable marking.
WONTFIX.
