Created attachment 648276 [details, diff] Patch to ConfMakefile.in In common with bugs 704102, 704108, 704956 and others, when dev-lang/ocaml is upgraded to the stable 4.09.0 version, dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.3.7 compile fails because of a change in the default use of -safe-strings. To fix this, two patch files are needed, which are attached: - The unsafe_strings.patch adds the -unsafe-string option. To apply, it is placed in /etc/portage/patches//dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.3.7/unsafe_strings.patch - The ebuild change is needed because the ebuild is EAPI=5 This is placed in /etc/portage/env/dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.3.7 With these two changes in place, dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.3.7 compiles successfully with warnings.
Created attachment 648278 [details, diff] Modify EAPI=5 ebuild src_prepare() to apply user patch Place this in /etc/portage/env/dev-ml/ocaml-gettext-0.3.7 to get ebuild to apply user patch
Could you please post a more descriptive error message, perhaps even the complete build log instead of a summary of part of a single line of output?
The "part of a single line of output" was the exact nub of the issue. The other bugs mentioned have it in their titles as well. I no longer have the log. so, well done, the title is now meaningless.
Created attachment 650074 [details] build.log I tried to build this package as a dependency for another. Here is my build.log.

This commit just uses the existing workaround/fix in b.g.o and updates the ebuild to EAPI=7.
