Bug 176751 – sooperlooper-1.1.0 fails to compile

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description JTRiley 2007-05-02 00:49:44 UTC]

media-sound/sooperlooper-1.1.0 fails to compile on amd64 using 2006.1 profile from what seems to be an issue with wxGTK.  I'm currently running an ~amd64 system with x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3.3 .  Attached is my build.log and emerge-info.

This is an upstream bug related to the creative use of pointer variables.
The problem is, that the author uses pointers reserved in wx structures
for the passing of arbitrary data to pass integers immediately.
Then on 64 the casts break because pointer and integer size don't match anymore.

I made a patch for 1.0.8c which somehow solves this. However it is ugly and may even break x86. I'll attach it anyway for reference.

Unfortunately I don't have time to do it right. :(

amd64-patch for 1.0.8c

This makes sooperlooper-1.0.8c work on amd64.
It is practically untested, but served a couple of testing runs fine.
