• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I tried emerging nzbget-0.2.3 for the first time and ran into this error:

After running into a couple of packages recently that only failed with the debug USE flag set, I tried with USE="-debug" but that made no difference here.

Created attachment 85957 [details, diff]

This should make it happy, give it a try.

It does indeed, thanks.

FYI, this seems to be one of the packages that doesn't like building with the debug USE flag. The error with debug (which I didn't get originally because of the bug you fixed) is:

c++ -c -I./uulib -I.  -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/g++ -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"0.2.3\" -o global.o global.cpp

Let me know if you would like me to file a separate bug on this.

No need to file a separate bug, I just fixed it. Thanks all!
