Bug 371601 – media-libs/gegl - reinhard05.c: In function 'reinhard05_stats_start': reinhard05.c:88: error: 'NAN' undeclared (first use in this function)

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2011-06-14 11:41:02 UTC]

Platform is Gentoo Prefix on SUSE Enterprise 10 SP2. media-libs/gegl-0.1.6 fails to emerge, which in turn stops gimp from being emerged.

The console output looks like:

reinhard05.c: In function 'reinhard05_stats_start':
reinhard05.c:88: error: 'NAN' undeclared (first use in this function)
reinhard05.c:88: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
reinhard05.c:88: error: for each function it appears in.)

Looks like a bug in gegl, forgotten #include <math.h>.

I've hacked around it with CFLAGS="-DNAN=__builtin_nanf\\(\\\"\\\"\\)" emerge -1 gegl. Stole it from my math.h and my gcc>=3.3.
Proper way is to add a patch of course.

[Comment 2 Rabbe Fogelholm 2011-06-22 07:18:35 UTC]

Thanks Dmitry! With your workaround I can again emerge 'gegl'.

[Comment 3 Rob Kay 2011-07-01 10:10:06 UTC]

Same problem here. Thanks for solution!

Workaround:
export CFLAGS="-DNAN=\"(0.0/0.0)\""
then emerge -1 gegl

Created attachment 316101 [details]
Adds -std=gnu99 to CFLAGS

This problem still exists for me when using media-libs/gegl-0.2.0 on a Red Hat 5, ~amd64-linux Gentoo prefix.  There's actually a few more failures now, but it seems that they're all related to floating point stuff.  The missing definitions are NAN and fminf, both of which seem to need _ISOC99_SOURCE defined.

I've attached a patch that adds "-std=gnu99" to CFLAGS, which allows gegl-0.2.0 to build.  I think this is correct as the package seems to be using GNU C extensions (when I just added "-std=c99" the build still failed, I didn't look closely).

With the attached patch applied, medias-libs/gegl-0.2.0 builds on my ~amd64-prefix.

I'm also on a RHEL 5 machine running Gentoo Prefix, and I can confirm using those CFLAGS fixes the compilation error.

Upstream bug, upstream is not convinced that the fix should be their end: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567435

I'm sorry, but I believe the package and OS changed considerably since.
