Created attachment 506820 [details, diff] centerim-4.22.10-ansi-c.patch I have come across two problems when compiling centerim-4.22.10. 1. When compiling with gcc-6.4 which has been stabilized recently I get compilation errors in the src and /src/hooks subdirectories. The error occurs because c++11 is now default in gcc-6 and files in these directories makes use of variables called "auto". The patch centerim-4.22.10-ansi-c.patch adds -ansi to CXXFLAGS in these two directories. 2. If ncurses has been compiled with the tinfo useflag and the terminfo library is separated out in libtinfo.so centerim fails to link because -ltinfo is missing from the link command. This is caused by the outdated macros in m4/ax_with_curses.m4 which don't make use of pkg-config. Removing that file and reconfiguring pulls in more recent macros which use pkg-config to find the correct link flags. The new macro sets CURSES_LIBS instead of CURSES_LIB. See the attached patches and modified ebuild.

Why not use 5.0.1 version?
I would opt for stabilizing 5.0.1 then :/
Moving on to 5.0.1 also solves the problems ofcourse. Personally I'm not too fond of the dependency on purple but I can get used to that I guess.
We need to stabilize the fixed version as current one doesn't compile with stable gcc6
Stable on amd64.
x86 stable, closing
