And also installs header files.
This appears to be a forked copy. It calls a function (XML_SetDefaultExpandInternalEntities) not implemented by upstream dev-libs/expat-2.0.1 or dev-libs/expat-1.95.4. A workaround for that is to use one of two expat functions that implements the same behavior as a side effect. However, the definitions of XML_ElementDeclHandler and a few related *DeclHandler functions, use an incompatible argument. Non-trivial source patches will be required to make tclxml able to use the system library, and it is not clear from the tclxml code how to convert its handlers to work with the standard prototypes. Also, this package appears to be obsolete. It pulls in an old version of dev-tcltk/tclxml, and builds just a subdirectory of the source from that package. Newer versions of dev-tcltk/tclxml build that directory on their own with USE=expat. However, both have forked copies of expat and exhibit the forked *DeclHandler problem. I have a patch that strips out the Expat code, but based on one of the warnings introduced, I suspect it will crash at runtime due to the incompatible definition of XML_ElementDeclHandler. I lack suitable input to test this. I will attach the work so far, in case it is a useful starting point.
Created attachment 179587 [details, diff] Patch to do initial work of unbundling Expat from tclxml - see WARNING below This patch makes the source and build file changes to remove use of the internal copy of Expat, stop installation of header files, and work around the use of the XML_SetDefaultExpandInternalEntities that is not available in upstream expat. WARNING: as noted in comment #1, this is incomplete, and will probably crash if any of the *DeclHandler functions are called. Interested parties are invited to use this patch as a base to finish the unbundling work.
Created attachment 179589 [details, diff] Patch to tclxml-2.4.ebuild to use the patch in attachment #179587 [details, diff], and remove Expat files This patch modifies the ebuild to apply the patch in attachment #179587 [details, diff], and also removes the Expat files that are rendered obsolete by that patch.
patch does not apply
tclxml-expat-2.4-r1.ebuild has been added now it applies patch correctly can this bug be closed now?
