Hi,

it seems that my box (Mac Mini G4) does not like to compile the new stable STLport (dev-libs/STLport-5.2.1). It fails right off the bat:

>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/STLport-5.2.1/work/STLport-5.2.1 ...
make -j1
make -C build/lib all;
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/STLport-5.2.1/work/STLport-5.2.1/build/lib'
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ -pthread -fexceptions -fPIC -fvisibility=hidden -O2 -mcpu=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -ggdb3 -D_GNU_SOURCE -I../../stlport -c -o obj/gcc/so/dll_main.o ../../src/dll_main.cpp
In file included from ../../stlport/vector:38,
from ../../src/dll_main.cpp:43:
../../stlport/stl/_vector.h:714: error: expected declaration before ‘}’ token
make[1]: *** [obj/gcc/so/dll_main.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/STLport-5.2.1/work/STLport-5.2.1/build/lib'
make: *** [all] Error 2
emake failed

The offending line is a macro which defined the end of a namespace. As a matter of fact, I found two definitions for it in features.h, one with trailing } and one without it. Besides adding -ggdb3 to the GCC options, make.conf does not really contain anything that could trigger this build failure. Question is now if anybody else is experiencing this, too?

Cheers,
T.

It's most likely related to Altivec, it wouldn't be the first time that STLport has broken due to this. :/ Unfortunately, I can't test it at the moment, my main development machine has died. It would be nice if you could make a bug for this problem though!

I just wanted to check here first if somebody already had a remedy. I will file a bug right now.

Cheers,

I let the Gentoo devs take that upstairs.

I tried it on my G4, it does compile with gcc-4.3, but not anything newer. It does appear to be a conflict with the vector keyword. If you really need to compile the package, try using gcc-4.3.

Nah, it is OK. I just mask the ebuild. Thanks for looking into it.

Cheers,
