Bug 31446 – emerge xmule 1.6.1 fails with compile error

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Bjarke Freund-Hansen 2003-10-18 14:24:32 UTC]

When I try to emerge xmule 1.6.1 it fails with a compile error. The error looks
much like the error I get when trying to compile amule, seems they use much the
same codebase. The bugreport i here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31264

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-p2p/xmule/xmule-1.6.1.ebuild
Actual Results:  
Fails with the following error:

complete emerge xmule output

[Comment 2 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) 2003-10-18 15:18:40 UTC]

I think I figured out what causes this error.
gtk2+unicode support was enabled again in the wxGTK-2.4.2 ebuild, it seems
like you linked against Gtk+-2 and did you also enable unicode ?
That is known to cause problems with poorly implemented wxWindows apps like
xmule and amule are that don't follow the wx guidelines for unicode support.

So, if you compiled wxGTK with +unicode try again with -unicode as a work
around if you don't need unicode

[Comment 3 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) 2003-10-18 16:06:04 UTC]

I just checked in a check function in all xmule and amule ebuilds, please
test it

[Comment 4 Bjarke Freund-Hansen 2003-10-19 10:45:37 UTC]

I've just reemerged wxGTK without unicode support, and xmule compiles against
it perfectly.

[Comment 5 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) 2003-10-19 10:59:08 UTC]

Unfortunatly we cannot do anything about it, it's the developers job to fix
unicode support in their application, so you have to live with that work-around.

I added a check function to the ebuilds wether wxGTK was compiled with unicode
support and there is nothing more we can do about this at the moment.

resolved / fixed
