Bug 235737 – x11-libs/xfc-4.3.2: Doesn't compile with "examples" use flag on amd64 linux system.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marcin Olender 2008-08-26 01:57:51 UTC]

The ebuild compiles without errors with "-examples" use flag. Other use flags don't affect build result. With "examples" use flag the build ends with 
following error:

 * 
 * ERROR: x11-libs/xfc-4.3.2 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line  156:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake || die "emake failed."
 *  The die message:
 *   emake failed.
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/xfc-4.3.2/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/xfc-4.3.2/temp/environment'.
 * 

Examination of build.log file shows that above error is caused by following error:

selection.cc: In member function ‘virtual void RetrieveSelectionButton::on_selection_received(const Xfc::Gtk::SelectionData&, unsigned int)’:
selection.cc:50: error: cast from ‘unsigned char*’ to ‘unsigned int’ loses precision


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --sync
2.USE="examples" emerge -av xfc
Actual Results:  
The build exits with the above error.

Expected Results:  
To compile and install without error.
