Description Peter Simons 2004-04-06 04:18:29 UTC
I just wanted to notify you guys that two additional patch sets have been released for nh98 1.16, which the current -r1 ebuild does not include:

Especially the gcc33 patch should be worthwile.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Andres Loeh (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-15 01:01:50 UTC
Thanks for the information. (BTW, please don't classify as enhancement if, as in 
this case, there is a real problem, because nhc98 won't build with gcc-3.3 right 
now.) Unfortunately, with the patches, the build still segfaults on my machine.
I have posted the problem upstream.

Have you succeeded to build nhc98 using the patches?

Comment 2 Peter Simons 2004-04-15 01:56:40 UTC
Yes, I could build nhc98 fine with those patches, although the machine I did it on was not a Gentoo box and had much older versions of pretty much everything installed. It definitely didn't have gcc33, so this information might not help much.
Comment 3 Andres Loeh (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-21 02:42:40 UTC
I've given up on nhc98. I have it hardmasked until someone sends
a patch or there is a new upstream version.

nhc98 has now been removed from portage.

We hope to get yhc in when it's ready.
