• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-03-03 09:22:14 UTC]

when I try to "emerge scrot" I get this error:

0.6 fails in the same way for me-- the references to 'eprintf' and
friends probably are supposed to be handled by giblib, but with
giblib-1.2.3, the latest default, the exported interface is
'gib_eprintf', etc.Perhaps scrot-0.6 requires an older version
of giblib.
Regardless, scrot-0.8 builds fine, and seems to work.

[Comment 2 Eddahbi Karim 2004-03-24 12:26:40 UTC]

I made a patch, could you test it ?

[Comment 3 Eddahbi Karim 2004-03-24 12:30:05 UTC]

Created attachment 27949 [details, diff]
Patch for scrot-0.6 to make it work with the latest giblib

Test the software itself too ! =)

[Comment 4 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-03-24 21:09:49 UTC]

well... I don't have the knowledge to test it, but I'll try to google for it this afternoon.

[Comment 5 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-03-26 12:46:53 UTC]

I added the following lines in the ebuild and now it compiles and works:

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd ${S}
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/scrot-patch.diff
}

(and of cause I put the patch in the correct directory)

By the way: What should I mark this bug now? Maybe "WORKSFORME"??

[Comment 6 Eddahbi Karim 2004-03-30 05:47:45 UTC]

Hmm TEST-REQUEST would be better, isn't it ?

[Comment 7 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-03-30 06:26:51 UTC]

ok...

[Comment 8 Aniruddha Shankar 2004-05-30 23:53:25 UTC]

Is there an ebuild I can test out ? 

[Comment 9 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 00:47:38 UTC]

It is probaly easyer to use the ~x86 version of scrot... I use it since month and hadn't had any problems.

[Comment 10 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 00:48:35 UTC]

s/probaly/probably

[Comment 11 Aniruddha Shankar 2004-05-31 22:12:22 UTC]

Are there any objections to unmasking the current ~x86 version ?

[Comment 12 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-06-01 08:23:00 UTC]

no... ;-)
