Description Peter Stuge 2009-04-08 23:26:30 UTC

Compile fails. (I've fixed the bug in a local overlay)

[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/graphviz-2.22.2-r1  USE="cairo gtk jpeg png python -doc -examples -gnome -java -lasi -nls -perl -ruby -tcl" 0 kB [1=>0]
..
shapes.c:2361: warning: passing argument 1 of 'find_user_shape' discards qualifiers from pointer target type


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
I had to add a patch to a local overlay ebuild here in order to get graphviz installed. Now I can't reproduce, even if I emerge -C graphviz first. Sorry. :\

The error was however reliably reproducible until I added my local ebuild.
(Yes I'm sure I am not building my ebuild with patch now.)

Actual Results:  
Failed compile.

Expected Results:  
Successful compile.

Because I can't reproduce I copypasted this error from another compile. I am unsure if I got a warning or error during the failing emerge, but emerge did die.

Thank you for your report, Peter.

This is not an error but a warning so it does not harm. Please, report your patch upstream so they could fix it. Most probably emerge died because of bug 265859 which I'm going to fix in a moment.
