obpager compiles fine with gcc-4.2.4, but fails with gcc-4.3.1: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/x11-misc/obpager-1.8/work/obpager-1.8 ...

Created attachment 156787 [details, diff] obpager-1.8-gcc43.patch This should fix the immediate gcc-4.3 problem, but the build process looks screwy to me. Fortunately that is not within the scope of this bug. Can anyone who actually uses this package confirm that this patch creates a working obpager binary for them?
Thanks for the patch! I applied it, and now obpager compiles fine. It starts up fine as well, but it doesn't actually switch desktops... So I'll keep this open, but remove the block on gcc-4.3 tracker.
Should we remove obpager from the tree? Latest release was 4 years ago, and it doesn't work any longer...
There is no reason to keep old, broken, unmaintained software in the tree, especially when many similar alternatives exist. I say yes to removal.
# Ben de Groot <yngwin@gentoo.org> (01 Oct 2008) # Masked for brokenness. Last release 4 years ago. There are plenty # alternatives. Pending removal in 30 days. Bug 226007 x11-misc/obpager
removed.
