• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pandu POLUAN 2017-02-20 20:28:24 UTC]

Trying to emerge net-misc/iputils-20151218 on a fresh stage3-amd64-uclibc-hardened-20170130.tar.bz2 installation failed with the following errors:

ping6.c: In function 'niquery_option_subject_addr_handler':
ping6.c:483:19: error: 'AI_IDN' undeclared (first use in this function)
  hints.ai_flags = AI_IDN;
                   ^
ping6.c:483:19: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
ping6.c: In function 'main':
ping6.c:930:19: error: 'AI_IDN' undeclared (first use in this function)
  hints.ai_flags = AI_IDN;
                   ^

It seems that this error might be a missing patch? Reference: https://github.com/lluixhi/musl-extras/issues/3 (similar, but different file)

Error goes away if I remove "idn" from USE flags.

Should be fixed long time ago, this build is from original "not responding" maintainer, which missing _lot_ of important patches and also united ping.

Feel free use -99999999 or some recent version listed here:  https://github.com/iputils/iputils/releases
