Bug 306529 – gnome-base/libgnomekbd-2.28.2 doesn't compile w/ x11-libs/libxklavier-5.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-23 15:03:17 UTC]

libgnomekbd-2.28.2 doesn't support libxklavier-5.0 API change and fails with,

gkbd-indicator.c: In function ‘gkbd_indicator_stop_listen’:
gkbd-indicator.c:580: error: too few arguments to function 'xkl_engine_stop_listen’

you can look at upstream or example from portage xfce-base/xfce4-settings/files/xfce4-settings-4.7.1-libxklavier.patch for possible solution.

reproduce: unmask x11-libs/libxklavier-5.0 (in portage, package.masked), try to compile libgnomekbd.

When is this expected to get patched and committed to the portage tree?

gnome-settings-daemon also needs to be patched

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2010-06-13 16:47:23 UTC]

libgnomekbd-2.30.1 added to the tree. I don't plan to backport this because:
1. It would need more work and backport similar changes to other tools.
2. I think it's much better try to stabilize Gnome 2.30 as soon as possible.
3. I won't expend infinite time with Gentoo ;-)

Best regards
