Bug 56348 – tetex fails to compile when using mysql-4.1.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Detheridge 2004-07-07 10:08:07 UTC]

This is essentially the same bug as bug 56328, as tetex includes the source for libwww. I've created a patch based on the patch for libwww, and tetex now builds fine. See below for the patch.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge mysql 4.1.3
2.emerge tetex

Actual Results:  
the emerge fails (I don't have the compiler errors to hand)  

Expected Results:  
the emerge should succeed

Patch to build against mysql 4.1.3

This patch replaces the old, unsupported calls to mysql in libwww.

Trivial modification to the ebuild, to apply the above patch

Same as bug #56328.

simon: for your patch there, please make sure that libwww compiles and works with your patch applied and mysql-4.0 or 3.23 being used. this may require some fancy footwork with macros or #if trees.
please also use snprintf instead of sprintf and make your code modifications secure.

text-markup: the game-plan for mysql-4.1 is not for another few weeks at least before it's available hardmasked even, too much work going on with it.

text-markup: please see the patch used for net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r3.
This is important as the other method used here isn't so great after 4.1.3.

Finished now to install "app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r5" on x86 without problems .
The packages currently in portage don't use the bundled libwww.
