Description Viktor Jesina 2003-02-26 20:15:50 UTC
I tried to install XFree86 with emerge xfree. After 2 hours of compiling, the
compilation aborts. In line 619,620,621 of xf86str.h are parser errors befor `.`
and in Line 659 is a parse error (I found a single letter `c`, which belongs to
nowhere, in line 657). So the file /programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86str.h
seems to be corrupted.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xfree
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
compilation abort

Expected Results:  
successful compilation
Comment 1 Mark Guertin 2003-02-27 11:27:04 UTC
can you attach that file here please?  Also the output of emerge info would be 
good too :) 
Comment 2 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-27 14:11:33 UTC
Some corruption somewhere ?  Check that you do not have HTREE (also called
dir_index) enabled on ext3 ... I run into some bad luck with it.
Comment 3 Mark Guertin 2003-03-07 14:00:43 UTC
okay, been two weeks on this one

A few more days and I'll close it assuming this is not re-creatable unless we hear different, thanks.

compile-output from compilation of xfree

Hello, 

here is the file and the compile-output. There are errors (parse errors, 
syntax error and strays of `\`) in the following files : 

xf86str.h
lnxResource.c
xf86Bus.c
xf86pciBus.c

Sorry, it took that long to post it. 
I deleted the sources and tried it again, but every time the same result.

This has been sadly neglected. There was somewhat of a reason, as Gerk left, but there isn't really an excuse. Fortunately, there is a whole new version of xfree out. Does this issue still apply?
Comment 10 Graham Forest 2003-04-27 21:53:17 UTC
I don't like closing bugs because they've gone out of date, but we can reopen it if it is still a problem. xfree-4.3.0-r2 is very nice, and -r3 with improved ppc compile times is due out soon.
