The failing build step output is: FAILED: libgnucash/app-utils/swig-app-utils-python.c libgnucash/app-utils/sw_app_utils.py /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13_build/libgnucash/app-utils/swig-app-utils-python.c /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13_build/libgnucash/app-utils/sw_app_utils.py cd /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13_build/libgnucash/app-utils && /usr/bin/swig -python -py3 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13/common -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13/libgnucash/engine -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13/libgnucash/app-utils -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13/bindings -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13/bindings/python -o /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13_build/libgnucash/app-utils/swig-app-utils-python.c /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-4.13/work/gnucash-4.13/libgnucash/app-utils/app-utils.i Deprecated command line option: -py3. Ignored, this option is no longer supported. /usr/include/guid.h:41: Warning 301: class keyword used, but not in C++ mode. /usr/include/guid.h:83: Warning 301: class keyword used, but not in C++ mode. ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. This is due to the build picking up /usr/include/guid.h installed by dev-libs/crossguid instead of libgnucash/engine/guid.h in the gnucash source tree. I believe the include is coming from bindings/python/gnucash_core.i. Temporarily renaming /usr/include/guid.h allows the gnucash build to succeed.
Does this error affect gnucash-5.6?
The build doesn't fail when running sudo ebuild gnucash-5.6.ebuild compile as -Werror is no longer being passed, but it still picks up the wrong include file and generates the same warnings, e.g.: [821/821] cd /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6_build/bindings/python && /usr/bin/swig -python -Wall -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6/common -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6/libgnucash/engine -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6/libgnucash/app-utils -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6/bindings -I/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6/bindings/python -o /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6_build/bindings/python/swig-app-utils-python.c /var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnucash-5.6/work/gnucash-5.6/bindings/python/../app-utils.i /usr/include/guid.h:41: Warning 301: class keyword used, but not in C++ mode. /usr/include/guid.h:83: Warning 301: class keyword used, but not in C++ mode. when it should be referencing libgnucash/engine/guid.h.
The latest stable version of dev-libs/crossguid (0.2.2_p20190529) on longer installs include files directly into /usr/include (now they are under /usr/include/crossguid), and furthermore does not install a guid.h file at all, meaning that app-office/gnucash no longer picks up the wrong include file. If a user still has the old version of dev-libs/crossguid installed (0_pre20150817), this could still be an issue, but for anyone with an up-to-date system, it is no longer a problem. I would suggest removing the old version of dev-libs/crossguid from the tree and closing this bug.
