Can you please attach both:
emerge --info =x11-misc/x11vnc-0.9.10
and
/var/tmp/portage/x11-misc/x11vnc-0.9.10/temp/build.log

Thank you

upstream fix.

Same issue here on ~amd64.
That upstream patch doesn't seem to patch the pointer.h-file for me
(as the patch doesn't touch that file)
I just went for their 'bleeding edge' dev-version 0.9.12 at
http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#downloading
and added it to local overlay. Compiles fine, no testing done yet.

Same exact error here (~amd64).

[Comment 5 Gabe Peters 2010-08-22 07:04:15 UTC]

Same problem here. Confirmed that installing x11vnc-0.9.12-dev from a local overlay addresses the issue.

[Comment 6 Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov (mva) 2010-08-23 11:17:15 UTC]

the problem is in xproto-7.0.18.
I've x11vnc-0.9.10 installed before it released, but it doesn't recompile now. Issues is: downgrade xproto or use newer version of x11vnc.

[Comment 7 Tim Harder 2010-08-25 17:55:01 UTC]

I've attached an upstream patch to bug #334483 that fixes the issue for x11vnc-0.9.11. It also works for 0.9.10.

[Comment 8 Sven Wegener 2010-08-28 10:38:47 UTC]

Thanks, I've included the fix from bug #334483.
