Expected Results:  
emerged successfuly 


This is what I did to fix it:

Google lead me to this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa-packages/2012/02/msg00171.html

and then:

cd /var/tmp/portage/games-emulation/openmsx-0.8.1/work/openmsx-0.8.1
vi src/serialize.hh
removed : typedef void* gzFile;
added   : #include <zlib.h>

make 
make install
-> everything went ok

i can confirm this issue and the fix too.

[Comment 2 Maks Verver 2012-08-06 20:50:02 UTC]

I tried resolving this by upgrading to openMSX 0.8.2 but unfortunately the problem is still present in that version.  It's easy to work around, fortunately.  I'll attach an updated ebuild.

[Comment 4 Julian Ospald 2012-08-06 20:53:35 UTC]

attach the patch and an ebuild diff (not an entire build) if there are significant changes other than an epatch line

Patch from openmsx-0.8.1.ebuild to openmsx-0.8.2.ebuild

[Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2012-10-21 03:02:18 UTC]

probably fixed with 0.9.1.  reopen if not.
