Bug 68005 – app-i18n/kon2 on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description OKUMURA N. Shin-ya 2004-10-18 05:25:23 UTC]

'struct font_header' in ./font/minix.c of app-i18n/kon2 should be fixed to use on amd64 environment.
I modified the last member, 'long sum;', to 'int sum;', and then, it works fine currently.
Because this structure comes from old MINIX, 'int32_t' or 'char[4]' might be better for 16-bit compatibility
but the former one need stdint.h or types.h.
Kon2 does not use 'sum', so any 4-bytes-type will be good.
I hope this fix will be added to kon2-*-gentoo.patch.

[Comment 1 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2004-10-19 04:23:51 UTC]

a patch would be great

also, i get another error in another file:

term.c:541: error: conflicting types for 'ChangeNewConsole'
term.c:293: error: previous implicit declaration of 'ChangeNewConsole' was here
term.c:541: warning: 'ChangeNewConsole' defined but not used
make[1]: *** [term.o] Error 1

could you add your emerge info?

[Comment 2 Karol Wojtaszek (RETIRED) 2004-11-17 07:41:54 UTC]

It's gcc-3.4 related problem, i'll try to fix it today later

[Comment 3 Karol Wojtaszek (RETIRED) 2004-11-19 15:26:30 UTC]

Fixed in CVS.

[Comment 4 OKUMURA N. Shin-ya 2004-12-07 06:47:21 UTC]

Created attachment 45433 [details, diff]
app-i18n/kon2 LP64 patch

The last modification fixed gcc-3.4 problem, but not LP64 (long and pointer as
64bit) problem.
For instance, before this attached patch is applied,
$ kon
$ printf '\243\260\n'
is expected to show wide-width zero in euc-JP encoding,
but it shows decayed font,
because 'struct font_header' is 4 bytes larger than expected.
I hope merge this attachment also.

[Comment 5 OKUMURA N. Shin-ya 2004-12-07 06:51:51 UTC]

The last fix resolved gcc-3.4 problem, but not LP64 (Long and Pointer are sized as 64 bit) problem.
I attached a patch for the originally reported bug.

i tried out your patch, but there are some other issues:

I will try gcc-3.4.3, "-O3 -pipe -march=k8" and binutils-2.15.92.0.2 in these days to reproduce it.

[Comment 8 OKUMURA N. Shin-ya 2004-12-13 04:43:39 UTC]

I cannot reproduce the ld error in my environment, even with gcc-3.4.3, "-O3 -pipe -march=k8" and binutils-2.15.92.0.2.
Does anyone have any idea(s)?

[Comment 9 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2005-02-26 04:06:38 UTC]

what is the state on this? we have the InCVS keyword and it seems to be fixed, so i'll close it. feel free to reopen

[Comment 10 OKUMURA N. Shin-ya 2005-03-27 07:34:34 UTC]

Sorry, it would be my misconception.
