Bug 30671 – Cannot emerge blackbox-0.65.0-r1 due to Window.cc not including assert.h

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeff Breker 2003-10-08 08:07:14 UTC]

When compiling blackbox manually I also get this error and apparently (looking
through the blackbox site) they know about it and are fixing it/fixed it. This
is the stderr output:

util/Makefile.am:8: bad macro name `_SOURCES'
util/Makefile.am:9: bad macro name `_LDADD'
util/Makefile.am:8: invalid unused variable name: `_SOURCES'
util/Makefile.am:9: invalid unused variable name: `_LDADD'

!!! ERROR: x11-wm/blackbox-0.65.0-r1 failed.
!!! Function commonbox_src_compile, Line 114, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

The problem is solved by inserting '#include <assert.h>' at the top of the
Window.cc file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge blackbox
2. wait
3. profit!!! (ok just a little humor, please disregard)

Actual Results:  
Kinda explained in the details.

Expected Results:  
It should have compiled and installed blackbox.

It is supposedly being fixed upstream... I installed with the pentium4 stage3
tarball and need to use USE="-nls" to emerge blackbox regularly.

blackbox-0.65.0-r2 compiles, I am going to mark this as fixed.
