Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Compilation Error

Expected Results:

Here's about 20 lines of stdio, to trace when it went wrong:

Redhat is now using a xfree86 cvs snapshot with "translucent" mouse cursor support in its betas (which is where the current version of redhat-artwork is being pulled from).  What version of XFree86 are you using?

[Comment 2 Nick 2003-02-22 20:42:24 UTC]

I was using xfree-4.2.1.  Can you give me your opinion on the stability of 
xfree-4.2.99.4?  If that's not a stable enough option, do you have any 
suggestions for a polished gnome 2.2 theme for my users?  I suppose this "bug" is 
just because I was using the wrong version of xfree!  Thanks for the clarification. 

[Comment 3 TGL 2003-02-28 03:47:00 UTC]

I can compile it with xfree-4.2.1, but I need to apply a small patch because of gcc-2.95. Modify the ebuild like this:

src_unpack() {
        cd ${WORKDIR}
        rpm2targz ${DISTDIR}/${A}
        tar xzf ${P}*.src.tar.gz
        tar xzf ${P}.tar.gz
        cd ${P}
        patch -p0 < ${FILESDIR}/cursorthemegen-gcc-2.95.patch
}

and save the following attachement in your redhat-artwork/files directory.
I don't think cursor will work with xfree-4.2.1 though, but at least it will emerge and gtk engine will work.

Created attachment 8809 [details, diff]
redhat-artwork/files/cursorthemegen-gcc-2.95.patch

The gcc-2.95 patch.

[Comment 5 Nick 2003-02-28 20:33:36 UTC]

TGL, wow, thanks for the patch.  How hard would it be to modify the 
redhat-artwork-6x ebuild to check for gentoo or gcc version?  IMHO, this would 
be a valuable patch for us stability/compatibility freaks who distrust gcc 3.x. (I 
plan on switching somewhere around 3.4.5, in case anyone's wondering)  Wait a 
second, isn't this called a back-port?  I am satisfied with manually patching, and if 
I'm the only one with this bug, then I suppose it's resolved. 
 
Thanks

thanks for the patch. it makes good sense. i wonder what the redhat people were thinking with that main.c .. :)

i've committed it to redhat-artwork-0.63-r1 and redhat-artwork-0.65. please test and see if it works for gcc-2.95 

[Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-31 06:26:57 UTC]

works for me
