Bug 255027 – x11-libs/libXi requires trivial patch to fix build failure

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Stuart Shelton 2009-01-15 10:59:26 UTC]

On IRIX, x11-libs/libXi-1.3.0 fails with:

cc-1119 cc: ERROR File = XListDProp.c, Line = 53
  The "return" expression type differs from the function return type.

        return (NoSuchExtension);
               ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "XListDProp.c".

... which can be trivially fixed with the patch:

[Comment 1 Fabian Groffen 2009-01-18 12:47:54 UTC]

please in the future attach patches as attachments, that way I don't have to reproduce them (tabs, spaces, line wraps, etc.)

Patch added, thanks!
