Bug 257766 – app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10 requires patch to build on IRIX

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Stuart Shelton 2009-02-05 10:47:48 UTC]

Without modification, gam-server fails with errors such as:

cc-3316 cc: ERROR File = gam_connection.c, Line = 524
  The expression must be a pointer to a complete object type.

          memmove(&conn->request, (void *)req + req->len, conn->request_len);
                                  ^

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

... in various files.  And yes, this is a quirk of the MIPSpro compilers :(

Patch coming up...

Fix IRIX/MIPSpro build errors

Workaround for a quirk in the MIPSpro compilers.  Could someone quickly sanity-check the patch to ensure that I've not inadvertently changed the sense of either problematic statement?

Man I would really like to see a patch like that be submitted upstream before I even touched it. http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/contacts.html

We are sorry to close this bug.  We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
