Bug 74903 – nullmailer no longer builds, using gcc 3.4.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joe Wells 2004-12-18 19:56:53 UTC]

I can't emerge the new nullmailer-1.00_rc7-r5 ebuild.  It fails with
complaints about C++ errors.  (See "Actual Results" below.)

Furthermore, I can't even re-emerge the old nullmailer-1.00_rc7-r4
ebuild that I already have installed.  It fails with zillions of C++
errors.

This seems to be a result of upgrading GCC since the last time I
successfully installed nullmailer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge nullmailer
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The ebuild fails.  Here is the portion of the ebuild output that shows
the errors:

Expected Results:  
It should have successfully installed the new nullmailer ebuild.

Created attachment 49421 [details, diff]
08list.diff patch to make nullmailer compile

probably not the cleanest way, but it works. If anybody knows how to reuse
the typedefs I would like to know.

[Comment 2 Florian Loitsch 2005-01-24 15:21:32 UTC]

Created attachment 49422 [details]
nullmailer-1.00_rc7-r6.ebuild for the lazy ones.

i emerged nullmailer with this ebuild.

[Comment 3 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2005-05-31 14:59:16 UTC]

Have you sent this patch upstream?

[Comment 4 Florian Loitsch 2005-06-01 01:17:53 UTC]

No. I didn't. Could be, that they arleady fixed it on their own too... 

[Comment 5 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2005-06-01 05:02:17 UTC]

Well, there's nullmailer-1.00 out already, but we only have 1.00_rc7 in portage.
Robin should probably bump the package.

[Comment 6 Robin Johnson 2005-06-01 10:42:30 UTC]

I've been working on trying to have 1.0 actual compile under gcc3.4, but I 
haven't had much luck yet - it looks like it will need a lot of patching (I've 
started on this, but haven't got very far).

[Comment 7 Robin Johnson 2005-06-01 21:59:05 UTC]

Fixed and now present in CVS.
