Ratpoison 1.4.4-r1 fails to compile with glibc-2.10 due to the redundant definition of getline() in history.c. The ebuild needs to be changed such that if the glibc version is 2.10 or higher the definition "HAVE_GETLINE" is defined (or one of the other changes in Additional Information). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ratpoison Actual Results: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -O2 -march=prescott -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -MT history.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/history.Tpo -c -o history.o history.c history.c:78: error: static declaration of 'getline' follows non-static declaration /usr/include/stdio.h:651: error: previous declaration of 'getline' was here Expected Results: history.c should compile properly Comment from the developer(s) was: It seems glibc-2.10 defaults to IEEE 1003.1-2008 (which contains getline()), unless __STRICT_ANSI__ , _POSIX_SOURCE or POSIX_C_SOURCE are defined. Previous versions of glibc used IEEE 1003.1-2004 as a default.
The command: CFLAGS+=" -DHAVE_GETLINE" emerge ratpoison seems to allow the emerge to work with glibc-2.10.1.
