Anyone using engauge-digitizer?

Anyone out there using our version of media-gfx/engauge-digitizer ? If yes, I'd be very happy to hear how well it works.

Background, upstream deleted their git repos and web pages some time ago; what we have is restored from old backups of the git repository with an additional Qt6 port...

One question:
better add "-march=....." or remove "-march" from make.conf??
On the long run, it's better to add the specific optimization for your CPU there.

For the 23.0 migration- not clear, there is not enough data yet. Here the rebuild worked each time...

Please try again with "-march=native" either removed or replaced with a specific setting for a (your) CPU.

If it buils then, it's probably a duplicate of https://bugs.gentoo.org/908523

Re: gentoo binary: Failed Tried to use non-existent binary

You are doing everything correctly.
It seems the files are missing on the mirror.

Please try to set the follwing sync-uri:
https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/a ... /x86-64-v3

This is a CDN and should work fine independently from where you are.

There's a lot of advice floating around, some of it correct, some of it unnecessary, and some of it straightaway harmful or dangerous. So, if you have problems with updating Perl ...

Yep, that's the solution! And there's ongoing work so in future portage versions the backtrack parameter won't be necessary anymore.

Your Perl is broken. (gcc-5 is the guilty party, 5.20.2 is miscompiled by it.)

Update to 5.20.2-r1 as quickly as possible.

Any later version works too (and 5.22.2 is being stabilized anyway).
