Bug 649596 – sys-fs/dd-rescue-1.46: build fails, sys-fs/dd-rescue-1.46

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas 2018-03-05 06:25:38 UTC]

sys-fs/dd-rescue-1.46 fails to build on my system, maybe a new issue related to the switch to gcc.7.3, which seems to be stricter.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uv sys-fs/dd-rescue

Actual Results:  
dd_rescue.c:312:9: warning: 'fmt_int' is static but used in inline function 'fmt_kiB' which is not static
  return fmt_int(0, 1, 1024, no, (col? BOLD: ""), (col? NORM: ""), 1);
         ^~~~~~~

this little patch made it work for me

Why do you mix stable dd-rescue with unstable gcc?

Unstable dd-rescue builds fine with gcc-7.3 so I don't see any reason to patch the stable version.
