Bug 566350 – media-gfx/inkscape-0.91 fails at building with newer version of libsigc++ and c++11

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 566318
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jorgicio 2015-11-20 19:05:42 UTC]

Hi! Since some packages upgraded, like libsigc++, pangomm, glibmm and cairomm, and also Popper upgraded, it forced me to recompile Inkscape. However, since then, build fails.

Here's the log.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

most likely the same root cause as bug 565342

I found a workaround for that.

First, create a file in /etc/portage/env called cpp11.conf. Its content must be:

CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -std=c++11"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -std=c++11"

then, add this to a /etc/portage/package.env file:

media-gfx/inkscape cpp11.conf

Then, recompile Inkscape. It did the trick.
However, you must remember that c++11 support is sort of experimental. But it works.

You can do the same with gtkmm or *mm packages. Try it.
