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
can you attach that file here please? Also the output of emerge info would be good too :)
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.
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.
Created attachment 9162 [details] 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?
I don't like closing bugs because they've gone out of date, but we can reopen it if it is still a problem.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.
Closing
