Bug 32263 – procman can't compile, simple error in ebuild or application source code

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henrique Rodrigues 2003-10-29 05:30:34 UTC]

when i try to emerge procman 1.0 it gives me an error on file:
/var/tmp/portage/procman-1.0/work/procman-1.0/src/memmaps.h

memmaps.h:6:21: missing terminating " character
memmaps.h:7: error: syntax error before '<' token
memmaps.h:7: error: stray '\' in program

i checked the source code and i think i found a solution. the file memmaps.h, in
line 6, should have a "\" at the end, so that the #define can work through
multiple lines.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge procman

Actual Results:  
it gives me a compile error

Expected Results:  
should have compiled procman

i have gcc 3.3.1 and python 2.2.3

This sounds like one of the many gcc-3.3.x multi-line strings bugs we've
been getting.  Are you able to make a patch of this for posting?  I don't
have X/Gnome on any of my machines, so This makes it a tad difficult to get
things setup to make a patch.

As there hasn't been any movement during the last months, here's a patch which fixes the issue :)

[Comment 5 Henrique Rodrigues 2004-11-08 03:13:15 UTC]

This is still an issue on the portage tree, althought there are working patches/ebuild here. Should i change the bug status to fixed in order to get it on the portage tree?

Fixed in CVS.  Also fixed a compilation issue with GCC 3.4
