Bug 104334 – wxGTK-2.6.1 finish compiling, but report errors during compilation.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Igor Korot 2005-08-30 22:44:28 UTC]

When trying to install wxGTK-2.6.1, it reports compiling errors, but the 
emerge finishes, and the packet installs himself. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Issue the "emerge =wxGTK-2.6.1" command. The packet is in testing stage, so 
you need to unmask it. 
2. 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
The compiler errors will be reported and the compilation finishes with the 
packet installation. 

Expected Results:  
When there is a compilation error, the packet shouldn't be installed, and the 
compilation should fail.

This is normal behavior. They provide the source for all platforms, Windows,
Mac, OS/2 etc in one tarball so the ones that don't work on Linux fail. If you
find any of the contrib sources fail that affect packages in portage, please
re-open.

As a matter of fact, they provide wxGTK version for download, and the 
wxWindows version for download on the www.wxwidgets.org site. Which archive 
you are providing through the Portage?

[Comment 5 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2005-08-31 13:59:19 UTC]

If you look at the ebuild you'll see we don't use the wxGTK tarball (its
wxWidgets). The errors affect nothing in any platform we support.

[Comment 6 Igor Korot 2005-09-10 16:09:54 UTC]

First of all, why you are calling the packet wxGTK?
Second you 2 comments are exclusive: first you said: "they provide the sources 
in one tarball", then you said: "we don't use wxGTK tarball".Which one is 
correct?
Also, when I installed the wxGTK-2.6.1 from the site, everything built 
normally and my program works as well. So I do think that this is actualy a 
bug. You need to grab the wxGTK tarball and put it in the portage.

There's no bug here, closing.
