Bug 576646 – dev-libs/liboil-0.3.17-r3 requires -fheinous-gnu-extensions

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description * 2016-03-06 23:41:16 UTC]

My system is OS X El Capitan (10.11.3).
I'm using an installation built with a successful bootstrap from bug 564814.
I'm trying to install media-libs/vips which requires dev-libs/liboil.
dev-libs/liboil-0.3.17-r2 fails on line 543 unless the attached ebuild patch is used:

/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/liboil-0.3.17-r2/work/liboil-0.3.17/liboil/amd64/wavelet.c:1756:27: error: invalid use of a cast in a inline asm context requiring an l-value: remove the cast or build with -fheinous-gnu-extensions
        [s1] "+r" ((long)(s1))
                   ~~~~~~~^~~

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge --oneshot dev-libs/liboil

media-libs/vips should not depend on liboil (see bug 416815).

liboil is in maintainence mode since 2013 and has seen no release since
then. People are supposed to use dev-lang/orc instead. Alas, ecasound and
psimedia still depend on it.

I would guess that liboil generally does not build with clang (also on
linux).

Thanks, I did notice it included both liboil and orc and thought that was odd.

Fixed liboil nevertheless, thanks *!

Not just a problem for ${CHOST} == *-darwin* it seems.
