Description . 2004-08-19 20:28:46 UTC

there was a mention of this at bug#60658 but I think it needs to be reopened as it wasn't about CFLAGS being too strict. It is an issue with the latest version of x11-libs/libwnck-2.6.0.1 not working with acme.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=205691
that link is a temporary solution which is to downgrade libwnck but there should be a workable solution with the latest version. I'm not a great programmer but it seems that the latest update to libwnck changed some of its public functions which acme isn't setup to handle. This may not be a problem within the ebuilds  but rather acme itself so if I find the time I will post it over with gnome (which I probably won't)

Reproducible: Always

well if you had read that bug carefully you had read that installing acme on a 2.6 system is unneeded.

anyway libwnck is afaik not guaranteed API stable, so over time things can change.

I use xfce4, not gnome, and i need something to manage my keys so i use acme, and i can't compile it against libwnck so if it's not guaranteed stable why is it marked stable?
It may not be needed for the latest gnome but for people that don't use gnome and want something its very annoying, and i know i'm not the only one

I said 'not guaranteed _API_ stable', that is how it works upstream, it has nothing todo with us being stable. We could probably leave acme around for a while (not indefinitely, cause it's not maintained), same for an older libwnck, but i suggest you find another solution.
