Description Axel Schmalowsky 2004-05-25 00:31:30 UTC

When I emerge something of the media-glx tree, I always get an error message like: "Invalid statement: #Check|OK in file have_mmx.S".
It should apparently be a comment, not a macro; and gcc complains about that.
I changed it into a C-comment, and it worked (but I had to install it "manually").
[ Sorry for that "bad english" ]

what might that something be? does this bug still exist with 3.4.1/3.3.4? can you include the output of emerge info? has this been reported upstream?

I was experiencing this problem with gtk+-2.4.14 and narrowed it down to using -std in my CFLAGS so maybe it would be an idea to put a filter-flags in the ebuild to remove the -std flag for these?
