Bug 50769 – orange-0.2-r1 fails to compile with gcc-3.4.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Moss (RETIRED) 2004-05-11 09:57:04 UTC]

As of gcc-3.4.0, the use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated. This breaks compilation of orange, as it puts -Werror in its CFLAGS and uses the deprecated structure.

The attached patch removes the -Werror flag from {lib,src}/Makefile.{in,am} .

Reproducible: Always

Thanks

There's one available here, extract it to your portage overlay:

There's plenty of other gcc-3.4.0 fixes in there too. Feel free to use what you want.

That ebuild worked for me, thanks!

I think this problem has been solved already, hasn't it?
Just emerged orange from Portage with gcc-3.4.3.

Yup, compiles here for me as well.
