Bug 492770 – app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.10 - compilation warning because of gentoo-specific patches

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ilya Gordeev 2013-11-28 08:46:10 UTC]

Building ghostscript-gpl-9.10 I'v got this compilation warnings:
./base/wrfont.c:76:9: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘abort’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
./psi/dxmain.c:1163:5: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘gs_sprintf’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

The second warning has been fixed in the main ghostscript-gpl project but the first arises from gentoo-specific patches ghostscript-gpl-9.09-patchset-1.tar.bz2, specifically from ghostscript-gpl-9.07-wrf-snprintf.patch

Thanks for taking care of this upstream! The origin of the patch(es) is fedora. We usually apply all their fixups, in this case the relevant piece seems to be introduced by http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ghostscript.git/commit/ghostscript-wrf-snprintf.patch?id=57b8712a835be32518dae4152cb331f3ec3b4127

Relevant fedora bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979681
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980085

As I lack an arm device to do any tests I'm not sure if the patch is needed at all. We could simply drop it from our patchset or get in touch with the author of the patch to get the warning fixed properly. Best thing though would be if the patch was upstreamed.

Any progress on this?
