• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alessandro Ronchi 2004-12-01 01:36:58 UTC]

When I try to emerge amule, it says to me:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge aMule

Actual Results:  
this error:

ed2khash.cpp:86: error: no matching function for call to
`wxFFile::wxFFile(wxString, const wchar_t[4])'

Expected Results:  
emerge cleanly

I've solved this problem with this simple patch to the clean
aMule-2.0.0rc7.tar.bz2 from aMule site:

How can I contribute that to the project?

This patch solves the problem

[Comment 2 Alessandro Ronchi 2004-12-06 04:59:51 UTC]

Is it possible to contribute an ebuild for gentoo wich solves the problem? How can I do that?

[Comment 3 Alessandro Ronchi 2004-12-07 17:59:48 UTC]

Ebuild done:

[Comment 6 Giacomo Perale 2004-12-08 02:43:21 UTC]

Am I wrong or you just added ~ppc to KEYWORDS?

[Comment 7 Alessandro Ronchi 2004-12-08 03:26:27 UTC]

Also commented a GTK2 check.

[Comment 8 Giacomo Perale 2004-12-08 03:35:48 UTC]

don't comment it out that check, it's needed because wxGTK 2.4 doesn't work well with gtk2. wait for the unmasking of wxGTK 2.5.3, there's already an ebuild, bug #71108

[Comment 9 Alessandro Ronchi 2004-12-08 03:44:35 UTC]

I have wxGTK-2.4.2-r3 and GTK2 and emule works perfectly (I used it a week without an error).

[Comment 10 Giacomo Perale 2004-12-08 03:53:02 UTC]

and in my system (-O2 -pipe, no strange hyper-optimiziations) I've got 100% CPU usage and 250mb ram occupied in ~10-12 hours. wxGTK 2.4 aren't stable with gtk2 according to wxGTK developers and amule developers.
If you've got a patch, just inherit eutils in the ebuild and patch the sources when ppc keywords is on.

[Comment 11 Karol Wojtaszek (RETIRED) 2005-05-31 14:29:53 UTC]

Added patch to portage. Thanks for help. If you still expirience 100% CPU usage
problems try new release (2.0.1).
