Created attachment 679948 [details] failing build log The problem apparently appears when the Linux kernel is built without IPv6 support and has already been reported upstream. There's a patch in the issue there at https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/1033 which I'll attach as well. The patch is confirmed to allow building/merging conky. This is a new conky install so I've not run-tested it yet, with or without the patch. Here's my USE flags (after installation with the patch): [ebuild R ] app-admin/conky-1.11.6-r2::gentoo USE="X bundled-toluapp curl iconv lua-cairo math ncurses rss systemd truetype xinerama -apcupsd -cmus -doc -hddtemp -ical -imlib -iostats -ipv6 -irc -lua-imlib -lua-rsvg -moc -mpd -mysql -nano-syntax -nvidia -portmon -pulseaudio -thinkpad -vim-syntax -weather-metar -webserver -wifi -xmms2" LUA_SINGLE_TARGET="lua5-3" 0 KiB First error: FAILED: src/CMakeFiles/conky.dir/linux.cc.o /usr/lib/ccache/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -I/tmp/portage/app-admin/conky-1.11.6-r2/work/conky-1.11.6/3rdparty/toluapp/include -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/lua5.3 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -Idata -std=c++17 -std=gnu++17 -MD -MT src/CMakeFiles/conky.dir/linux.cc.o -MF src/CMakeFiles/conky.dir/linux.cc.o.d -o src/CMakeFiles/conky.dir/linux.cc.o -c /tmp/portage/app-admin/conky-1.11.6-r2/work/conky-1.11.6/src/linux.cc ../conky-1.11.6/src/linux.cc: In function 'void update_ipv6_net_stats()': ../conky-1.11.6/src/linux.cc:709:16: error: 'struct net_stat' has no member named 'v6addrs'; did you mean 'addrs'? 709 | while (ns->v6addrs != nullptr) { | ^~~~~~~ | addrs
Created attachment 679951 [details, diff] #ifdef BUILD_IPVv6 patch
Two-point update: * I've run conky with the built-in configuration now, and at least that works, so at least limited run-time tested. * I've actually looked at the patched file and code now, and it's exactly one IPv6-specific callable #ifdefed (update_ipv6_net_stats, its single call site was already #ifdefed). That wasn't clear from reading just the patch due to the elided section between the #ifdef and the #endif. So no unwanted side effects would be expected.

Reopening/retitling for conky-1.12.1. Same bug; same patch applies. Status at the URL is closed with a March 2 commit pulling in the patch upstream, but it seems to have been after the 1.12.1 tagging. So while it's needed with 1.12.1 it shouldn't be needed for whatever the next release is. =:^) BTW, any chance of a live-git conky-9999 ebuild so I could follow upstream's commit-stream a bit closer? If I create one of my own, is it worth submitting for the tree or would you prefer release-only in-tree? Or is there an overlay with one already?
You are correct. The release was first tagged and and then on the same day the patch was applied. So the new version still requires the patch. This was an oversight on my side. I have a live ebuild for conky as well as for all other packages I maintain but I do not publish them to the tree. At the moment I don't intend to change this.
(In reply to Daniel Pielmeier from comment #5) > I have a live ebuild for conky as well as for all other packages I maintain > but I do not publish them to the tree.

I can make a personal overlay live-git ebuild if I decide it's worth it. Then I maintain it but am only responsible to myself for it, which is quite a different matter than being a maintainer responsible for a public one. =:^)
