Um... works for me. From the output, I'm guessing it's a glibc issue.  struct hostent (part of glibc) should have the h_addr member.

Blocking the glibc-2.8 tracker because a) WORKSFORME and b) comment #1

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-11-16 13:37:51 UTC]

[Comment 4 Sam Iam 2008-11-23 20:52:16 UTC]

After googling about this, I tried 'CFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE" ./configure' in the workdir and compilation succeeds. Not sure how to incorporate this to the ebuild.

I'm using glibc 2.8 and gcc 4.3.2

Created attachment 173389 [details, diff]
Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to cppflags to compile with glibc-2.8

Figured out how to use append-cppflags in an ebuild.

Oops.. I actually used append-flags. I think I should have used append-cppflags. It still compiles. Not exactly sure about the difference.

dont need gnu source ... just remove the dumb strict code building (-pedantic)
