Full build.log please
Created attachment 256242 [details] The complete build.log
I've "fixed" it by changing the (char **) cast to (const char **), so at least it compiles then...
Are you sure you didn't update the gcc active version since you last build the X11 libs? I finished 2 days ago a rebuild of my whole world after updating to gcc-4.5.1-r1 and Qt build fine.
(In reply to comment #4) > Are you sure you didn't update the gcc active version since you last build the > X11 libs? Yes, after I switched my gcc active profile to 4.5 using gcc-config, I've rebuild all X11 stuff. > I finished 2 days ago a rebuild of my whole world after updating to > gcc-4.5.1-r1 and Qt build fine. Most probably you are using the X11 ebuilds from the portage tree. I follow X11 development and thus use the x11 overlay and compile directly from the git repository. In my /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h I have this definition: extern Status XInternAtoms( Display* /* dpy */, _Xconst char** /* names */, int /* count */, Bool /* onlyIfExists */, Atom* /* atoms_return */ ); _Xconst is typedefed to const, so indeed a const char** is expected here. But qt-gui-4.7.1-r1 (and kdelibs-4.5.4, kwin, plasma-workspace, and some others) provide a char** to that function. While compiling, everytime it failed, I remerged the package, stopped the build, grepped the sources, fixed all function calls, and then continued. But I'm not sure if that's a real change in the Xlib interface only existing in the git repository, or if gcc 4.5 is just more picky than 4.4...
This looks like an interface change, done after the release of libX11-1.4.0. Could you ask upstream if they really intended to change libX11 API please?
(In reply to comment #6) > This looks like an interface change, done after the release of libX11-1.4.0. > Could you ask upstream if they really intended to change libX11 API please? This is still in flux. Here's the upstream "bug": https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32098
I've CCed myself on the upstream bug, let's see what they say. Maybe reverting is a good solution for now, unless some C++ wizard comes along to magically make it work as intended for both C and C++. Cheers
Upstream reverted the change in libX11: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/commit/?id=d2714d65e85b44abedf5f82e1a31506dba397ef2 Closing, thanks.
