Trying to merge wmii results in the following error: this code is not 64bit clean. Same error occcured with dmenu, but I was able to bypass it by overlaying and patching the dmenu ebuild, thanks to this bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231044 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. patch and merge dmenu's ebuild ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231044 ) 2. merge wmii Actual Results: Merge fails.

*** Bug 269829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
On the forums (see URL) there has been a discussion about it, the culprit is to be found in mk/gcc.mk. The -std=c99 CFLAGS setting must be removed to make it successfully compile, but according to the user it still does not run: May 29 00:09:17 gentoo-desktop [25749.425905] wmii[17977]: segfault at 18 ip 0000000000419f24 sp 00007fffe6585c00 error 4 in wmii[400000+2d000] CCing amd64 team to have a deeper look at it, thanks.
remerging media-fonts/font-misc-misc fixed the crash for me. Using the steps Christian Faulhammer described in the discussion on the forums (see Url) I can build and run wmii now.
I fixed this in CVS, please test.
http://code.google.com/p/wmii/issues/detail?id=118 explains what the proper fix is. Until then reopening.
Closing again, we will wait for the next release for a proper fix...it works at least.
