IncrTcl does not build properly following the upgrade to Tcl 8.4. The package SEEMS to build properly, but a compile error keeps the core library from actually being produced. The error on build is: generic/itcl_class.c: In function `Itcl_ClassCmdResolver': generic/itcl_class.c:963: structure has no member named `deleted' generic/itcl_class.c: In function `Itcl_GetCommonVar': generic/itcl_class.c:1642: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type distcc[31222] ERROR: compile on fornax failed with exit code 1 make[1]: *** [itcl_class.o] Error 1 Strange that the ebuild continued after that failure? After a bit of googleing I found an old patch put together by Mo Dejong that corrects the situation at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/itcl/message/3262 I'm re-synthesizing said patch for gentoo.
A newer release for IncrTcl with a series of fixes is available on sourceforge: http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/incrtcl/itcl3.2.1_src.tgz This includes a patch that corrects this particular bug. I'll try my hand and snythesizing a new ebuild.
Created attachment 13128 [details] New Ebuild for itcl-3.2.1 Created an E-Build based on IncrTcl 3.2.1, which patches the problems with the current ebuild and Tcl8.4 I've tested the ebuild on my own system
Modified Summary so folks will find the bug listed as itcl or IncrTcl
A new version of the itcl ebuild has made its way into portage. I'm closing this bug because the issue is resolved. ROBBAT2 added an ebuild for itcl-3.2.1 on Oct 29, 2003 Thx guys ;)
