Bug 28396 – tn5250 seg faults when built with slang; tn5250 fails to build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Todor Zviskov 2003-09-10 15:35:47 UTC]

I had tn5250 emerged a while ago and it worked back then. As I didn't need it
for a while and did 'emerge -u' since then it got broken by new slang libraries
(I guess). So I tried to emerge again and it failed to build. I modified the
ebuild and included the tn5250_0.16.5-5woody1.diff patch (found at
http://tn5250.sourceforge.net/) and everything built and merged just fine. But
tn5250 kept seg faulting and I finally narrowed it down to the slang libraries.
I tried merging old slang versions, found in portage; still no go. Finally,
disabled slang in the ebuild and everything works nicely now.

I'm attaching the modified ebuild.

1. emerge tn5250
