Bug 146198 – dev-libs/openct-0.6.8 fails with "ifdhandler.h:20: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'LPTSTR'"

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joseph Pingenot 2006-09-03 17:22:39 UTC]

when compiling openct (pulled in by opensc, iirc), I get the following error:
mkdir .libs
 i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../src/ctapi -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -Wall -O2 -pipe -march=pentium-m -fschedule-insns2 -fexpensive-optimizations -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -ftracer -MT pcsc.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/pcsc.Tpo -c pcsc.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/pcsc.o

you must be using an old version of pcsc-lite.

either upgrade to latest ~x86 pcsc-lite (or remove it if you don't really need it), and then re-merge openct.

you might want to open a stabilisation request bug for pcsc-lite.

reopen if this does not solve the issue for you.

Unmerging and re-emerging pcsc-lite (stable 1.2.0) doesn't work. If an unstable version is required to get this software working, than I think it should depend on the unstable version - this is a better solution than letting emerge fail every time ... Depending on an ~x86 version of pcsc-lite results in an emerge tree dependency error which is more helful that "error: expected ...".

Now merging unstable pcsc-lite.

why exactly is better to have a broken tree then a compile error due to an antique library version? not to mention that pcsc-lite is in no way a dependency for openct.

this bug will not be hit once bug# 145145 will be closed.
