Bug 50370 – ntp-4.2.0-r2 configure sizeof test fails

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2004-05-07 09:40:36 UTC]

I can't get ntp-4.2.0-r2 to emerge, it always fails the configure sizeof signed char test in the same fashion. If required, I can post config.log.

Fragment of the screen log:
<snip>

See `config.log' for more details.

[Comment 4 Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2004-05-07 15:06:32 UTC]

Thenk you for the hint. I'd never know to do this.

Thanks here too, I would have never known.

Well, I would if bug #11359 was integrated.
