This looks somewhat similar to the error in Bug #19728 and is reproducable on my machine. There are a few observations to make: The error message contains: kfilecoderdoc.h:115: syntax error before `.' token yet kfilecoderdoc.h does not contain a "." on line 115: int readFileHeader(FILE *fArchive, char *szFileName, char *szFilePath, QWORD *qwOriginalFileSize, QWORD *qwCompressedFileSize, QWORD *qwEncodedFileSize, mode_t *nPermissions, uid_t *st_uid, gid_t *st_gid, time_t *st_mtime, BYTE *cEncodedFileMixer, DWORD *dwCompress, BYTE *cHashControl); (no stray kfilecoderdoc.h files exist on my machine.) This readFileHeader function contains the parameter "time_t *st_mtime" but this is refered to as "st_mtim" (no trailing "e") in the error message: kfilecoderdoc.cpp:749: request for member `tv_sec' in `st_mtim', which is of non-aggregate type `long int' This error seems to be caused by a define statement in /usr/include/bits/stat.h: #ifdef __USE_MISC /* Nanosecond resolution timestamps are stored in a format equivalent to 'struct timespec'. This is the type used whenever possible but the Unix namespace rules do not allow the identifier 'timespec' to appear in the <sys/stat.h> header. Therefore we have to handle the use of this header in strictly standard-compliant sources special. */ struct timespec st_atim; /* Time of last access. */ struct timespec st_mtim; /* Time of last modification. */ struct timespec st_ctim; /* Time of last status change. */ # define st_atime st_atim.tv_sec /* Backward compatibility. */ # define st_mtime st_mtim.tv_sec # define st_ctime st_ctim.tv_sec The parser seems to replace all occurences of st_mtime in the kfilecoderdoc source (except line 1489) with st_mtim.tv_sec.
well, perhaps according to: http://kfilecoder.sourceforge.net/#whatisit this maybe the reason for this error: 5. Changes log (last updated) 0.6.0: (2002-12-17) Since I'm going to write my intel-gcc-command-line wrapper tomorrow I'll have no time to read in the USE flags of Karchiver.. But perhaps since it doesn't compile, the gentoo team should consider to move this package out of the ebuild three, since those who are interested in editing sources of Karchiver might get the code from sourcefrodge... But: thank you Brandy, for the help...
yeah, moving it out of portage is probably not a bad idea
I think packages which have a such unstable source should indeed moved out of portage IN GENERAL. The packages contain still open source. Portage has only sense when you don't have to configure all make and config files of the stuff. Defect packages are somewat senseless. The one who submitted the package may then encouraged to change it or someone who want this software.
You are right - we decided a few weeks ago to start this policy for KDE packages that are too old to really support anymore. I'm placing them at: http://dev.gentoo.org/~caleb/kde.html This one will be going there right now.
Created attachment 17263 [details, diff] patch to allow kfilecoder to compile Forcing the st_time variable in kfilecoderdoc.h and kfilecoderdoc.cpp to keep its local scope will allow kfilecoderdoc to compile. I've submitted this patch in case people still do want to be able to use kfilecoderdoc.
