Bug 266653 – dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.3 macro conflicts with wxGTK

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jose Luis Rivero (yoswink) (RETIRED) 2009-04-18 14:55:32 UTC]

2.7.3 version of libxml2 includes ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF which is used by wxGTK generating a naming conflict when both libraries are used (see bug #264176).

Upstream has released a fix in SVN (see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2009-April/msg00021.html) but would be great to have the patch in portage as soon as posible to be able to compile again apps suffering this problem.

I picked up the diff from SVN and remove references to win32. It applies on 2.7.3 current portage version and tests pass just fine.

-r1 ebuild can be found at http://dev.gentoo.org/~yoswink/tmp/libxml2-2.7.3-r1.ebuild
