Bug 31435 – xkeycaps-2.46 fails to build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Florian Loitsch 2003-10-18 11:36:34 UTC]

getting some "invalid preprocessing directive"s. Attached patch solved the
problem for me (though i don't know what I did).

here's the log:

[Comment 1 Florian Loitsch 2003-10-18 11:37:34 UTC]

Created attachment 19412 [details]
xkeycaps-2.46.ebuild (updated ebuild)

just added an unpack-section to apply the patch.

[Comment 2 Florian Loitsch 2003-10-18 11:38:23 UTC]

Created attachment 19413 [details, diff]
xkeycaps-2.46.diff (the diff-file, for the make-file)

hope this patch works not only on my machine...

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-10-18 23:06:11 UTC]

Could you post the output of `emerge --info` as requested on the bug submission
page please?  The current ebuild works fine for me, BTW.

[Comment 4 Florian Loitsch 2003-10-19 03:55:47 UTC]

sorry.

I retried, and it's reproducible.
doing the steps by hand:
===
ebuild xkeycaps-2.46.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/xkeycaps-2.46/work/xkeycaps-2.46
xmkmf
===
this is sufficient to get the error.

some of the offending lines in the Imake-file are the following:
===
/**/# Imakefile for xkeycaps;
/**/# Copyright (c) 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1999 Jamie Zawinski.
===
I my patch I just changed them to
===
/*# Imakefile for xkeycaps;*/
/*# Copyright (c) 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1999 Jamie Zawinski.*/
===

looks like someone didn't know how to comment out code :)
will take it upstream.

fixed in cvs.

[Comment 6 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) 2003-12-06 09:25:29 UTC]

uhm, upstream is dead.

[Comment 7 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-12-06 15:07:09 UTC]

Well, probably not dead.  But definitely not very interested. ;-)
