Bug 441558 – app-emulation/gxemul-0.6.0 broken due to upstream bug associated with temp file creation.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Turner 2012-11-03 09:43:08 UTC]

gxemul-0.6.0 suffers from an upstream bug which breaks the application.

This was reported to Debian as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574537 on Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:39:01 UTC and (is reportedly) fixed in gxemul/0.6.0-2.

This bug is two fold with a bad test for system mkstemp in the configure script resulting in the internal implementation being used, even if a system mkstemp() is present... and the internal implementation being broken *facepalm*

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =app-emulation/gxemul-0.6.0
2. run gxemul with a disc image
3. This will die with an error of the type "Can not create /tmp/gxemul.XXXXX"
while trying to load the disc image.

Have attached two patches fixing both issues which I have tested and these resolve the bug.
If these or equivalent patches could be applied to the portage tree ebuilds, that would be optimal. Thanks.
