Bug 129560 – qt code in doxygen-1.4.x is outdated and causes misc failures

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description SpanKY 2006-04-10 23:19:16 UTC]

noticed first on my gcc-3.4.6/arm machine (error below), but this can be observed on other hosts if you enable various options

this is only a problem with doxygen because it bundles really really old qt code

you can grab the patch debian/patches/qstring-gcc40.dpatch from doxygen_1.4.6-2 to fix this issue

Hmm, I looked for this on the Debian packages and bugs pages, but couldn't find it; could you please attach the patch you're referring to?  I'm commiting a patch for amd64 qtools but your error looks different.  Thanks...

nm, it was buried in that crazy debian patch file...  It'll be in portage soon.

simple:
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/doxygen/doxygen_1.4.6-2.diff.gz
gzcat doxygen_1.4.6-2.diff.gz | patch -p0 -f
cp doxygen-1.4.6/debian/patches/qstring-gcc40.dpatch /usr/portage/*/doxygen/files/

Already in portage...
