Bug 189153 – dev-lang/gwydion-dylan fails to compile with the new boehm-gc-7.0 release

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bernd Waibel 2007-08-16 19:11:16 UTC]

Compilation fails in the garbage-collector module with an undefined GC_quiet error:

 gcc -I. -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/gwydion-dylan-2.4.0/work/gwydion-dylan-2.4.0/d2c/runtime -DGD_PLATFORM_LINUX -I/usr/include/gc -c garbage-collection.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/garbage-collection.o
garbage-collection.c: In function 'garbage_collectionZgarbage_collectionZgc_quiet_METH':
garbage-collection.c:635: error: 'GC_quiet' undeclared (first use in this function)
garbage-collection.c:635: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
garbage-collection.c:635: error: for each function it appears in.)
garbage-collection.c: In function 'garbage_collectionZgarbage_collectionZgc_quiet_setter_METH':
garbage-collection.c:692: error: 'GC_quiet' undeclared (first use in this function)
garbage-collection.c: In function 'garbage_collectionZgarbage_collectionZgc_make_closure_METH':
garbage-collection.c:5140: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make[4]: *** [garbage-collection.lo] Error 1


I grepped the files inside of /usr/include/gc and found GC_quiet to be not present anywhere. I then tried and downgraded boehm-gc to release 6.8 and grepped again. GC_quiet is defined there like

artus@morgaine ~/code/gwydion-dylan-2.4.0 $ grep -i gc_quiet /usr/include/gc/*
/usr/include/gc/gc.h:GC_API int GC_quiet;       /* Disable statistics output.  Only matters if  */



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gwydion-dylan
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
compilation fails in garbage-collection module with an undefined error.

Expected Results:  
gwydion-dylan should install

I'll add an attachment of the build log.

Nope nothing has changed so far. Just tried to install it again and it still fails  in the same file. I currently have boehm-gc-7.0-r1 installed.

So far it seems like you need boehm-gc < 7.0 for it to work.

Being the gwydion-dylan package version so old, this isn't surprising ; in any case I am checking right now and I will more likely add such a dependency requirement for the package.

I just added a new revision version to the portage tree fixing this problem with a patch.

Please test and report back any problems.

Closing this bug as fixed now.

Thanks.
