Bug 100397 – tclspice fails to compile on AMD64

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Stephen Guerrera 2005-07-26 12:41:32 UTC]

versions 0.2.15 and 0.2.17 of tclspice, a dependancy for gEDA, fail to compile
on AMD64 in the 
function preprocess_lst_files of pp_lst.c in the src/xspice/cmpp directory
because of a problem with conflicting types for malloc

Here is the relevent compiler output:

looking at the line with the issue, it seems to be 

void    *malloc(unsigned size);

also, it seems like someone else ran into a similar problem, posted it on
upstream's bug-tracker, but there were no replies.  the link to that is 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1015166&group_id=76276&atid=546604


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av tclspice

Actual Results:  
!!! ERROR: sci-electronics/tclspice-0.2.17 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 40, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


Expected Results:  
tclspice has been sucessfully merged.

that's probably why it doesn't have the amd64 keyword
