Hi!

When I try to emerge eject, the compilation fails with the following error message:

gcc -Wall -O3  -O2  -o volname  volname.o

-----

The problem might seem insignificant, but I can't install nautilus without eject. And I can't install gnome properly without nautilus, so I am not able to get a working desktop environment.

This is a dual Opteron 246 with 1 GB of memory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a emerge eject
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Started to compile, but compilation failed.

Expected Results:  
eject should have compiled correctly

  23 Feb 2004; Seemant Kulleen <[e-mail]> eject-2.0.13.ebuild:
  moved 13 to stable, 12 is causing issues all over the place it seems


how about marking stable for amd64 ?

[Comment 2 Jostein Lima 2004-02-24 03:13:28 UTC]

Hi!

By adding the following lines to /usr/src/linux/include/asm/byteorder.h

#ifndef __attribute_const__
#define __attribute_const__  __attribute__((__const__))
#endif

eject compiled

Best Regards,

Jostein

Made 2.0.13 stable on amd64.

[Comment 4 Kris Kersey (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 12:31:37 UTC]

Note: 2.0.12-r1 worked for me with no issues though.
