• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Dec 2023-09-21 11:22:43 UTC]

When emerging gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.27.0-r1 I am not able to proceed past source file "NSData+GNUstepBase.m" in directory "Source/Additions".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -q1v =gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.27.0-r1
2. wait
3. get error
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
The package should compile

I have =dev-libs/libxml2-2.11.4

Please attach the full build log and provide emerge --info.

Stabilisation of fixed version was stuck, should be OK now.
