Hi,

transcode-1.0.0_beta3 fails to compile on ppc64. output follows. transcode redoes a typeset, which is also present in the kernel headers.

plasmaroo takes bug. thx!

I have fixed this bug on my ppc64 box.  The conflict was that RTjpegN.h redefines some typedefs that the 
linux kernel set in asm/types.h  But actually we should not use these types but preferably those from 
standard C that come with glibc, namely sys/types.h  I have fixed all affected files (three .c files and the 
said header file) and created a patch and edited the ebuild.  Please test on all platforms as this patch 
should work for all and I have set its arch to all.

includes patch to fix asm/types.h conflict

[Comment 8 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-11-05 13:23:03 UTC]

Just try editing RTjpegN.h and change:

#ifndef _I386_TYPES_H

to

#ifndef __u64

... which seems like a much simpler solution.

I've added transcode-1.0.2-r2 to portage, which contains the correct patch.

Arches: This adds support for ppc64, but changes code used on all arches. So I dropped your keywords. Please test and readd your keyword.

Markus, next time please CC [e-mail] at least, at least we'll know what's going on...

[Comment 14 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-01-31 06:03:09 UTC]

I'm sorry. Now that you remember me: I wanted to look up, why I couldn't add [e-mail] to CC (as in *herd*@gentoo.org). Now I know it should have been media-video@g.o.

Marking as FIXED. All arches readded their keyword.
