Bug 139655 – net-nntp/pan-0.14.2 (current stable) does not build with gcc4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) 2006-07-08 05:18:30 UTC]

The error is:

msort.c: In function 'msort_with_tmp':
msort.c:68: error: invalid lvalue in increment
msort.c:69: error: invalid lvalue in increment
msort.c:74: error: invalid lvalue in increment
msort.c:75: error: invalid lvalue in increment

It builds fine with gcc-3.4.6, and 0.14.2.91-r3 builds just fine with gcc4. Any chance to get this version stable?

Nope, upstream considers it beta software and inappropriate to be marked stable. I ported the gcc-4 patch to 0.14.2, which should be enough.

I've tried to build both the 0.14.2 and 0.14.2-r1 packages under the new gcc4/glibc toolchain, and they both failed in exactly the same manner as the original reporter described. In both cases, I saw no mention of the gcc4 patch being applied prior to the start of compilation.

Has this patch been included in 0.14.2 package?

I moved the net-nntp/pan dir out of my portage tree and resynced to see if I somehow missed the 0.14.2 gcc4 patch being pushed out. After syncing, I checked the 0.14.2 ebuild and saw the gcc4 patch referenced in src_unpack(). When I built the 0.14.2 package, though, I noticed the gcc4 patch was not being applied because of this:

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-nntp/pan-0.14.2 to /
>>> checking ebuild checksums ;-)
>>> checking auxfile checksums ;-)
>>> checking miscfile checksums ;-)
>>> checking pan-0.14.2.tar.bz2 ;-)
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking pan-0.14.2.tar.bz2 to /more/portage-build/portage/pan-0.14.2/work
/more/portage/net-nntp/pan/pan-0.14.2.ebuild: line 40: epatch: command not found

The build, of course, failed.

Comparing the 0.14.2 ebuild to other ebuilds that use the gcc4 patch, I noticed that the 0.14.2 ebuild only inherits libtool, while the others inherit both libtool *and* eutils. The 0.14.2 ebuild, it appears, needs to inherit eutils for the patch to be applied.   

[Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-09-03 13:20:55 UTC]

I added eutils to inherit, since we're shipping pan on the LiveCD media and I don't want anything we're shipping to be broken.

Thanks...
