Bug 231299 – Merging x11-wm/wmii-3.6-r2 fails with "this code is not 64bit clean"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alex Alexander (RETIRED) 2008-07-09 14:26:24 UTC]

Trying to merge wmii results in the following error: this code is not 64bit clean.

Same error occcured with dmenu, but I was able to bypass it by overlaying and patching the dmenu ebuild, thanks to this bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231044

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. patch and merge dmenu's ebuild ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231044 )
2. merge wmii

Actual Results:  
Merge fails. No compilation errors, just:

* ERROR: x11-wm/wmii-3.6-r2 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *       misc-functions.sh, line 653:  Called install_qa_check
 *       misc-functions.sh, line 349:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                              alpha*|ia64*|powerpc64*|mips64*|sparc64*|x86_64*) die "this code is not 64bit clean";

*** Bug 269829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 2 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-05-29 07:56:47 UTC]

On the forums (see URL) there has been a discussion about it, the culprit is to be found in mk/gcc.mk.  The -std=c99 CFLAGS setting must be removed to make it successfully compile, but according to the user it still does not run:

May 29 00:09:17 gentoo-desktop [25749.425905] wmii[17977]: segfault at 18 ip 0000000000419f24 sp 00007fffe6585c00 error 4 in wmii[400000+2d000]

CCing amd64 team to have a deeper look at it, thanks.

[Comment 3 Arne Steffens 2009-06-03 16:58:44 UTC]

remerging media-fonts/font-misc-misc fixed the crash for me.

Using the steps Christian Faulhammer described in the discussion on the forums (see Url) I can build and run wmii now.

[Comment 4 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-06-11 10:16:08 UTC]

I fixed this in CVS, please test.

[Comment 5 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-06-11 23:48:28 UTC]

http://code.google.com/p/wmii/issues/detail?id=118 explains what the proper fix is.  Until then reopening.

[Comment 6 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-07-02 07:26:23 UTC]

Closing again, we will wait for the next release for a proper fix...it works at least.
