Description Kyle Milz 2010-10-14 06:20:02 UTC

When wine 1.3.4 is compiled from the ebuild in the main tree -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is set. This causes problems, notably for me the Office 2007 suite crashes on open/save dialogs. 

Reported upstream here:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24606

Now, one of the wine devs kindly pointed out that FORTIFY_SOURCE breaks wine and so I decided to see for myself. I hacked the wine ebuild and sure enough, with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 the Office 2007 suite now has no such problems with open/save dialogs. 

So yeah, this should maybe get unset as I also read in the gcc man page that -O2 enables fortify source macro by default which is probably not what is wanted when compiling wine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compile Wine 1.3.4
2.Install Office 2007
3.Use open/save dialogs
Actual Results:  
Wine soft crashes.

Expected Results:  
The open/save dialogs actually work.

hack for ebuild

This is probably not right at all as my ebuild-fu is still in its maturation stage.
