Bug 27259 – gnome-applets fails to compile with gcc 3.3.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Kevin 2003-08-24 18:06:00 UTC]

When I try to emerge gnome-applets-2.2.2 on a K6-400 using gcc-3.3.1, it can't
compile. Everything up to this stage went fine, meaning about half of the gnome
emerge (about 60 packages) and a source install from stage 1. The emerge process
first complained about not finding libpanelapplet-2.0.pc, which I should add to
my pkgconfig path. It seems to me that this very file should be installed by
gnome-applets itself. I then copied this file over from another K6 machine that
used gcc 3.2 and compiled it correctly. Then the build advances beyond that
point but it then bangs out when compiling the mixer applet.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gcc-3.3.1 on a fresh install.
2. Emerge X and gnome.
3. It does a crash and burn while compiling gnome-applets

Actual Results:  
mixer.c:1276: error: conflicting types for `atk_object_set_description'
/usr/include/atk-1.0/atk/atkobject.h:459: error: previous declaration of
`atk_object_set_description'

Expected Results:  
It should have emerged gnome.

ok, to get the log in order and see what its doing even further ahead, can you post this with
script gnome.log
MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge -v --debug gnome

exit

and post the resulting "gnome.log" ?

It seems to be a partial problem with either the mixer or with ATK, and as gcc 3.3. is a bit nasty of it it may be related to a -pedantic (or defaulted pedantic) instead of anything "really wrong". If thats the case we just want to fix it in the build that fails and send notices to the upstream maintainer.  Or if it does indeed break in bad ways, we'll have to fix it :)

but as said, its hard to tell when we don't know the commands that are being run and so on.

i doubt this is a gcc-3.3.1 problem, i just compiled it with 3.3.1 without a hitch.

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-08-25 13:25:48 UTC]

Works fine here as well - I guess the most obvious thing that could break
it if not gcc, is atk.  What version do you have installed ?

$ epm -q atk
atk-1.2.4

Hope these attachments really work, bugzilla gave me a nice 400 message after attaching it... ?

[Comment 7 Spider (RETIRED) 2003-08-26 10:00:47 UTC]

They worked
From the log it seems that something is strange in your setup (nothing new there perhaps) because the file "panel-applet.h" can't be found. that file is part of gnome-panel Which is depended on and found.

Can you please check that gnome-panel is installed correctly? 

spider@Darkmere> locate panel-applet.h
/usr/include/panel-2.0/panel-applet.h
spider@Darkmere> qpkg -f -v /usr/include/panel-2.0/panel-applet.h
gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.2.2.2


Preferrably also do emerge gnome-panel.

Sorry I'm away from the machine at the moment, could take at least a week till I'm back home. I'll post the information then.
