Using overlay I tried to force an emerge of gnomesword-2.1.1 with ~amd64 but it broke during compile with: sword_main.cc: In member function `GList* BackEnd::fill_Bible_books(int)': sword_main.cc:215: error: cannot convert `unsigned int*' to `gsize*' for argument `5' to `gchar* g_convert(const gchar*, gssize, const gchar*, const gchar*, gsize*, gsize*, GError**)' make[3]: *** [sword_main.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnomesword-2.1.1/work/gnomesword-2.1.1/src/backend' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnomesword-2.1.1/work/gnomesword-2.1.1/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnomesword-2.1.1/work/gnomesword-2.1.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 This was obviously an amd64 related error. After a fruitless search for a patch (although I note freebsd has a 64-bit gnomesword in some form) a couple of minor adjustments to src/backend/sword_main.cc fixed the error. I don't know whether this is an upstream issue. But: I've whipped up a patch file and an ebuild that works in my overlay. I am extremely new to this and so please don't beat me over the head too much if I am haven't followed conventions too well. With my overlay ebuild and patch gnomesword builds on my amd64 and seems to run as it should. I'd like to share this minor success with others and perhaps see gnomesword keyworded as ~amd64 I include my ebuild and patch as attachments Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Created attachment 54289 [details, diff] Patch to fix /src/backend/sword_main.cc
Created attachment 54290 [details] New ebuild that applies patch - seems to work
thanks, i added both the patch and testing keyword. fyi: it's not an amd64 but a bug that is detected by gcc-3.4. you may also report it upstream.
Thanks. I've reported upstream to the gnomesword sourceforge bug tracker.
