Description Rodolfo Schulz de Lima 2004-11-12 21:06:46 UTC

dhcpd-3.0.1 doesn't compile with gcc-3.3.4-r1 (x86's most recent and tested version). It seems that this version of gcc doesn't like when we specify an __attribute__((mode _byte__)) (I forgot the exact syntax) to an enum. It coughs on includes/dhcpd.h.

I just changed the enum type of the variable in question to an unsigned char and it compiled fine, but this is ugly and not recommended...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to compile dhcpd with gcc-3.3.4-r1
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
compile error

Expected Results:  
successfull compile

hmm maybe you could post your 'emerge info' and the exact error message?
Because it compiles just fine here with gcc [version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)] ...

PS.: Am i right that you mean that package: net-misc/dhcp-3.0.1?

Is this still a problem?  I can't reproduce this at all.  A little bit of output (as per bug submitting guide) would be handy.

Since there are no further reports and I can't reproduce this, I'm closing.
