Bug 384743 – net-dns/avahi-0.6.30-r1 fails to build due to G_CONST_RETURN (by -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Reuben Martin 2011-09-28 01:36:56 UTC]

net-dns/avahi-0.6.30-r1  USE="autoipd dbus gdbm gtk howl-compat introspection* ipv6 mdnsresponder-compat python qt4 -bookmarks -doc -gtk3 -mono -test -utils" 0 kB

glib has depreciated G_CONST_RETURN and has apparently finally removed it, causing issues when building:

I tried patching pango with this patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652202

But it then breaks on atk:

Can't find anything useful beyond that...

Reproducible: Always

BTW: my temporary work-around was to disable the gtk use flag for now.

[Comment 2 Michael Buchfink 2011-09-28 16:29:52 UTC]

Same error here.

The workaround does not work for me, because the use flag 'gtk' is needed by net-misc/vinagre and net-misc/vinagre.

Created attachment 288099 [details]
Patch to remove -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to allow avahi to build

Temporary patch until bug 384779 is fixed.

The /etc/portage/patches trick didn't work for me for some reason, so I had to use a local portage overlay with a modified ebuild to apply the patch.

Thanks, this works.

[Comment 5 Olliver Schinagl 2011-09-29 20:50:50 UTC]

Bug confirmed, patch works.
