emerging shish fails

[Adel Ahmed]

I'm trying to emerge app-shells/shish but it fails with the following error:

Code: Select all

gcc:14 is more strict than gcc:13 on type checking.
Could be earlier gcc works better....

EDIT: tested not working
Same isssue on gcc:14 too

patching seems the only way...

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Also look at bug #722440.

-- edit --
It seems a package dead upstream.

And has no maintainer in Gentoo.

18 years old without maintenance...
Not surprised current build stack fails...

Prune baby, prune, prune, prune

Joke aside possible path to resurrection.
Bug report asking for src rebase welcomed. Amen.

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Bug report asking for src rebase welcomed.

If you mean in the official bug tracker, if there's no maintainer in Gentoo, nobody is going to process that bug anyway

Likely,
However as long as BR isn't closed, I could be an entry point where to provide working ebuild.
BR from above as an alternative could also help.

i think i will pass on that shell and try something else, thansk everyone

After fixing the *.src cast issues here, I'm hit hard with multiple

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld.bfd: YYYY/YYYY.a(yyyyyyyyyy.o):(.rodata+0x40): multiple definition of `parse_chartable'; builtin/builtin.a(builtin_eval.o):(.rodata+0x0): first defined here

for multiple 'first defined' too.
Ends with

Code: Select all

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Hard time fixing this here.
Any (easy) smart advice how to fix?

Likely matching

Code: Select all

You must not both declare & define your global variables in a header file,
...
Declare your global variables in a header file, define in a cpp file. 

despite *.c here.

One possibility is that some file(s) are missing an extern keyword in certain declarations, but I can't look at the source code right now.

I'm not sure that the package is worth salvaging , but if you are interested, you'll have to search all source files that GCC says contain declarations of the same entities (for C code producing those kinds of error messages, that should be a function or variable) and check what's going on.

Given the age of the code, my first guess would be the -fno-common change from a few years ago.

[CaptainBlood]

Nice support from everybody

I'm not sure that the package is worth salvaging

You may be right
However it's better to have a running binary to decide...

Given the age of the code, my first guess would be the -fno-common change from a few years ago.

Bingo ++

Now comes the hard part, ie patching the package to force '-fcommon'

Not optimistic on this one. It looks like dietlibc and and friends are marked for removal, however it was just never gotten around to....
