An ebuild for the latest version of Loki (released 20030413), written primarily for GCC on x86, although it should work on all platforms.

[Comment 2 Kovacs Zsolt 2005-03-08 05:14:53 UTC]

there is another ebuild for alexandrescu's loki in dev-libs/ferrisloki

[Comment 3 Zak Kipling 2005-12-22 05:03:52 UTC]

Though that is a modified version, combined with some additional software. Unless actually using the Ferris library, it is likely that people may want

(1) the unmodified Loki library;
(2) not to have to compile Ferris at all in order to install Loki.


I have a local ebuild for the more recent 0.1.2 release at http://sourceforge.net/projects/loki-lib, which I'll attach as soon as I've given it some more testing (I haven't quite got the testsuite to pass yet with FEATURES=maketest).

ebuild for loki 0.1.2

testsuite passes on x86; there is a failure on amd64 due to an upstream bug in the SafeFormat sub-library:

loki-0.1.3.ebuild

Reworked ebuild:
- update to version 0.1.3
- added USE flag doc, to use with doxygen generated documentation
- now use CXXFLAGS from system, and DESTDIR

[Comment 7 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2006-02-08 14:54:30 UTC]

None of us care to maintain this right now.  The build system also kind of sucks.    WONTFIX, atleast until the situation improves.

ebuild for 0.1.5

If anyone is interested, even though this bug is closed, here's the updated ebuild I have locally for 0.1.5

Changes relative to 0.1.3 above:

* Bump version
* Change .bz2 to .gz in line with upstream sources
* Don't rebuild doxygen output that's already included in tarball
* Apply -fPIC patch for "make check" to work on AMD64 (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=396644&aid=1611465&group_id=29557
* Build shared library (now supported upstream)
* Don't use DESTDIR; Makefile doesn't support it
