 |

This is more of a shot in the dark, 0.9.7 is an old (2010) version, may be impossible to solve due to too recent versions of other packages.
Build output. If you want to try, the source tarball can be downloaded from the project's old SourceForge page.

0.9.7 very different from 0.9.9?
This because 0.9.9 version is present in official tree
| Code: | * sci-calculators/qalculate-gtk
Available versions: 0.9.9 ~2.2.0 ~2.8.1 {gnome}
Homepage: https://qalculate.github.io/
Description: Modern multi-purpose calculator

Very. Version 0.9.8 was a massive new release, 6 years after 0.9.7 was released. Most notable change was the porting to GTK+3, a general UI tweak and lots of bugfixing. Changelog
That's why I don't have my hopes up about getting it to compile.

I should take a break from posting to the support sections here, my help requests have been quite embarassing lately...
I got it to compile in the end, had to MacGyver a whole bunch of things together:
- try to compile libqalculate-0.9.7
- find out it doesn't compile on GCC >=6, unmask and emerge gcc:5.4.0
- qalculate's config script not being able to recognise the library, had to set the env vars QALCULATE_LIBS and QALCULATE_CFLAGS
- qalculate's binary looking for libqalculate.so.5 in /usr/lib64, but the lib was in /usr/local/lib64 - symlink time
But it runs! 
I'll have to try and cook my own ebuilds for those versions of qalculate and libqalculate, this was one ugly install and I'll probably never be able to clean this up.

It might compile with gcc 6 and up, but would probably need a -std= flag (select either c89, c90, c99 or c11) to make it behave like an older compiler.
I've stayed with an early version of galculator (because it's the last gtk+ 2 version, thankfully I haven't had to try and recompile it)

Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to try that out. Good to see you in any discussion about clinging onto GTK+2 for dear life.
How would I set those flags? Is it just a CFLAG? How would I set it in the ebuild? I've managed to clean up the mess quite quickly and modifying the 0.9.9 ebuild to fit 0.9.7 was equally easy, I've both qalculate-0.9.7 and libqalculate-0.9.7 now officially in my local overlay.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Overriding_environment_variables_per_package
They talk about per package, but you can set it for per package version by using the = sign and a a version number, inside package.env
So you would have something like
| Code: | | echo 'CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -std=c89"' > /etc/portage/env/old-std-flags |
or whatever name you want to use
then in package.env
| Code: | | =qalculate-gtk-0.9.7 old-std-flags |
or whatever you named the file above.
Note: I've done similar things, but not this exact one, so this is all off the top of my head

Thanks, so: | Code: | $ cat /etc/portage/env/sim-old-gcc
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -std=$FLAG"
$ cat /etc/portage/package.env
=sci-libs/libqalculate-0.9.7 sim-old-gcc
=sci-calculators/qalculate-gtk-0.9.7 sim-old-gcc |
What should $FLAG be? After a quick skim though some sites, it seems that GCC is by default -std=gnuXY instead of -std=cXY. What about CXXFLAGS?
EDIT: gnu11 and gnu++98 seem to be the default in 5.4.0 according to the man page, as opposed to gnu11 and gnu++14 in 7.3.0.

I wouldn't worry about CXXFLAGS unless you're compiling c++ code, if so there is a corresponding setting for c++.
https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/projects/cxx-status.html
Or google gcc -std flags and see what pops up
ETA: Your edit from the above post looks about right. ( gnu11 and gnu++98 )
CFLAGS -- c98 or gnu98, or c11 or gnu11
CXXFLAGS -- c++98 or gnu++98 or c++11 or gnu++11
ETA2: C flags https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html

Interesting reads, bookmarked. 
It must be that Qalculate has at least parts written in C++ since that is the std flag that changed from 5.4.0 to >=6.
Anyways, I've set the env var for the two packages to gnu11 and gnu++98, switched to 7.3.0 and they compile. I am a happy Gentooer.
