Bug 67778 – HAL 0.2.98-r1 wont build

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark 2004-10-16 06:16:56 UTC]

hal-0.2.98-r1 seems to have some problems compiling due to the macro in fstab-sync.c 

#define fstab_update_debug(...) do {if (verbose) fprintf (stderr, __VA_ARGS__);} while (0)

maybe i'm missing something or havent the right version of something

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge hal

Actual Results:  
fstab-sync.c:1849:1: directives may not be used inside a macro argument
fstab-sync.c:1848:46: unterminated argument list invoking macro "fstab_update_debug"
fstab-sync.c: In function `main':
fstab-sync.c:1852: `fstab_update_debug' undeclared (first use in this function)
fstab-sync.c:1852: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fstab-sync.c:1852: for each function it appears in.)
fstab-sync.c:1852: parse error before string constant

probably your gcc, could you update or patch ?

[Comment 2 Mark 2004-10-21 09:30:00 UTC]

updating gcc and friends fixed the problem. 

would be nice to have it as dependency.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2005-01-16 13:46:41 UTC]

hard to implement such deps, it might work with older slotted broweser etc.

no further reports so i'm closing this wontfix for now.
