You're right. I found the same issue (quoted):
-->I got this error under Ubuntu 16.10:
make profile-build ARCH=x86-64-bmi2
tt.cpp:28:21: fatal error: windows.h: No such file or directory
#include "windows.h" <---
here:
https://github.com/Zerbinati/SugaR/issues/1
with the difference, I tried to emerge xfce4-terminal with Gentoo gcc and Gentoo on board tools.
So, how can I solve this issue with Gentoo emerging xfce4-terminal? I mean, why do I receive this error (and other Gentoo users don't)?

I still don't know, is this during build of vte (a dependency of xfce4-terminal), some other dependency, or xfce4-terminal itself? This is why I want to see the full context, and then someone can try to see if they can replicate the problem...
Does vte at least build, can you run vte?
---
EDIT:
Took a quick grep through ncurses, vte, and xfce4-terminal and didn't see any references to windows.h ... did not allow them to build so if this was in a generated file, I would not get it...

I think, for a beginner, I receive too many errors which confuse me in learning using Gentoo and I do not understand why I do receive such errors on my Gentoo.
Therefor I had asked for a clean installed basic Gentoo, which does not produce errors when simply just installing xfce
And, I saw, that some of the sub packages are about Plasma (kde-plasma-breeze, kde-frameworks...) Why, pls, are there packages of Plasma in a minimal installation of xfce? I'm really confused, because I did not want to emerge many, many packages for a minimal desktop.

I've never seen so many build errors like this when merging xfce4 which I've done many times through portage now, it almost brings me back to the time when I had to build individual dependencies manually. Most of the compilation problems should have been worked out by the portage maintainers so you shouldn't see these problems.
Which version/datestamp of the minimal installer CD did you start with?
Are you using overlays?
How old is your portage mirror? (cat /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp )
Could you post your emerge --info ? Any special USE flags, masks, or accept_keywords are being used?
Is the rest of your system up to date? What other outstanding packages do you need to update?
One important debug step is to disable distcc, disable pump mode, etc. to see if it helps. A lot of the time it does help -- indicating a distcc problem, possibly with the remote machines.

|
|
Hallo friends.
I'm astonished about more than 1300 reads of this, my thread, though I found out, that in a bit mind, this topic has been asked about 2 years before, which could have solved my problem also:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7944310.html?sid=4ee3d3590e8373eaef5b0753d21f00ec
I read the authors suggestion
(Quote):" Since not exists a desktop/systemd profile, imo the best way is setting systemd profile (for the proper settings of systemd) and than add desktop use flag manually in make.conf. You can see default desktop profile use flag in /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults ."
.. but this did not work for me...
In between, I was busy with looking for an older laptop, stronger than my Core2Duo, now I have found acore i5 DualCore with 4 threads and 2,6 GHertz of speed.
Then I began at zero, cleaned my hdd, took my Gentoo live boot USB stick and now, I will forget about the XFCE, which troubled me too much.
I intent to install a Gentoo with Systemd / Plasma profile on this stronger laptop.
So, this means, I will close this thread as [UNSOLVED]
But due to dependency problems with Plasma I will open another thread with a new topic here in this forum.
At any rate, thank you for your help here in this thread.

I am running xfce4 and systemd on a desktop profile for a long time without problems. Instead of fiddling with use flags the other way round, the only thing to do is emerging systemd and blocking openrc with
| Code: | | echo '-*sys-apps/openrc' >> /etc/portage/profile/packages |
Maybe in the meantime I have forgotten one or two steps but basically that should still work. |

While I began to install a Systemd Plasma environment, I searched around for further XFCE/Systemd environment and found something similar with blocking.
I haven't tried that, maybe next time on another low power laptop.
Anyway, I would like to know, why isn't openrc automatically blocked, when installing / setting profile systemd due to obviously inconsistence?
However, thank you for your (I assume) helpful hint.

Having both installed will not cause compilation/emerge issues.
I'm beginning to think there were some custom edits to the installation that are causing the issues at hand... Manual "upgrades" out of portage will cause assumptions to fail and cause these kinds of issues... though of course it's not certain that they are causing them.

I just made a suggestion for a simpler recipe to create a clean desktop/systemd profile. And for completeness, I forgot an important instruction:
Add to your use flags in make.conf "-openrc systemd". |

Might want to try a systemd/gnome profile, at least that's what works for me. I think all my systemd boxes have Gnome 3 installed but I don't really use it...

| Not sure, would this help, but noticed, that you have intel HD GPU. There is a bug, related to xf86-intel-video and xfwm-4.13. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614564 Try to disable opengl flag for xfwm4. |

Ugh not a good sign for my laptop...it doesn't like gdm due to lack of entropy, now xfce4 has problems too?
Alas the OP is having build problems, not runtime problems, so not quite there to deal with graphics problems, yet :)

xfce is basically gnome light, so I would go with the gnome profile (which should pull in systemd).

I confirm this solution worked for me too - recompiling xfwm4 without opengl.
Problems were:
frozen workspace (could not move to another one - ctrl+1 did not do anything)
unusable windows or actually one the on top window was usable |

Consider, pls. I started with a new installed Gentoo, with selecting profiles to begin with an easy constellation, fast and efficiently.
However, today I don't need this constallation (XFCE with Systemd) anymore, because I already have installed (emerged) a complete Plasma 5.13.4. To pronounce: with your help and support here.
So, thank you, again.
