Bug 74232 – dvi2tty-5.3.1 failed compiling

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description José Mata Fernandes 2004-12-12 13:17:18 UTC]

dvi2tty failed to compile on my system, doesnt look like a library dependency problem.

I'll try to look into de source, hopping to find something obvious.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dvi2tty
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gcc -Wall -O2   -c -o dvistuff.o dvistuff.c

Created attachment 45858 [details, diff]
patch to dvi2tty source - some err malloc declaration

Ok, fixed

I made a patch to the dvi2tty source, nothing big, just that gcc had been quite
more pedantic these days.

Fixed. Thanks.
