emerge --info

I am getting compile errors with virtualbox-6.1.34-r5 and having WATCOM set which has worked with previous builds. OW 1.9 is found: Checking for Open Watcom: found version 1.9, OK. It does build with WATCOM unset.

Could you let me know which version last worked? (What's currently installed?)
Comment 3 Mike Greene 2022-07-07 10:16:09 UTC 
The last version was virtualbox-6.1.34-r1 was the last version that built with WATCOM set.
Comment 4 Mike Greene 2022-07-12 11:28:44 UTC 
The virtualbox-6.1.34-r6 update compiles with WATCOM set.
Comment 5 Viorel Munteanu gentoo-dev 2022-07-12 12:21:40 UTC 
I'll leave this bug open for now, seems to be triggered by passing CFLAGS everywhere.  It may resurface after I fix the QA issues.

Comment 7 Mike Greene 2022-07-28 10:30:40 UTC 
This has been closed, but WATCOM is not honored virtualbox-6.1.36 based on ebuild:

unset WATCOM #856769
Comment 8 Viorel Munteanu gentoo-dev 2022-07-28 11:32:11 UTC 
Yes, it is not honored.  I chose to simply disable it because this is an automagic dependency: you get a different virtualbox build because you have some random program installed.  This is a bug in itself.

The proper way to support this would be to add a watcom USE flag, but we don't have the Open Watcom compiler in Gentoo so I can't pull it in as a dependency.

BTW, how did you install it?  I don't see it in any overlay.
Comment 9 Mike Greene 2022-07-28 12:23:14 UTC 
I use Open Watcom (OW) for various projects, so I manually install it. For compiling VirtualBox bios it uses the older version of OW 1.9.  This like of explains it: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12011
