Well, I must say, I haven't seen the sources, but a simple solution would be either installing a prior version of this package, comparing USE flags or modifying sources per hand starting with the top-most error: TclGlue.cpp:444: error: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*'. I'll take a guess and say there's a missing "const " in a function declaration or needless usage of "const " on variable inititalization. I'll try to figure out what's wrong there (though I never heard of that application before).
can you please try gcvs-1.0 that is now in portage?
@ #5: I can confirm the above bug and that using gcvs-1.0 solves the problem.
ok, 1.0 works for me too ... closing?
I don't see version 1.0 in Portage. I still only see 1.0 beta 3 minahd@lxsrv1 minahd $ sudo emerge -pv gcvs These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-util/gcvs-1.0_beta3-r1 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB And I did a sync last night which is more than a month after this bug says that 1.0 is in Portage.
try ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -a =dev-util/gcvs-1.0
package is unmaintained upstream, and has now been package masked.
removed from the tree, try alternatives like lincvs.
