When compiling nettop, the make phase fails with the following: nettop.c: In function `main': nettop.c:219: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:219: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:224: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:224: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:229: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:229: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:234: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c:234: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated nettop.c: In function `ts_run': nettop.c:364: error: label at end of compound statement make: *** [nettop.o] Error 1 A quick googling hints at the warnings being caused by newer gcc (>=3.3.3) versions, which deprecate certain typecasts. The error is also caused by a stricter gcc, adding a break fixes this: --- nettop.corig 2004-11-22 14:52:16.722176214 +0100 +++ nettop.c 2004-11-22 14:51:37.370640962 +0100 @@ -361,6 +361,7 @@ } break; default: + break; } } } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Despite the original error above the ebuild happily continues installing non- existing files: [SNIP] >>> Install nettop-0.2.3 into /var/tmp/portage/nettop-0.2.3/image/ category net- analyzer >>> dosbin: making nettop executable... install: cannot stat `nettop': No such file or directory man: prepallstrip: strip: >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/nettop-0.2.3/image/ >>> Merging net-analyzer/nettop-0.2.3 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/sbin/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ --- /usr/share/doc/nettop-0.2.3/ >>> /usr/share/doc/nettop-0.2.3/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/nettop-0.2.3/THANKS.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/nettop-0.2.3/ChangeLog.gz >>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance... [SNIP] fix here is to use "emake || die" instead of just emake in src_compile(). Ebuild incorporating these minor fixes will follow ASAP.
can you attach the patch for nettop.c ? (no need to attach an ebuild. I've fixed it to die on failed emake)
fixed in portage.
