TTMKFDIR build problem on sparc 5

[catalyst1]

I am stuck trying to get ttmkfdir to build.

There are errors like:

/usr/include/bits/mathinline.h:216 'double fdim(double, double) throws different exceptions'

In a different thread somebody fixed this with an 'emerge flex'. This didn't help. I also emerged gcc to no avail.

On a solaris thread someone talked about an 'append patch' or something? Is there a gentoo sparc library patch? \

Thanks!

P.S. This is a problem only with ttmkfdir 2.0. 1.0 seemed to build just fine...

IIRC, glibc is the culprit here. This has been encountered before. Not sure when a fix is/was planned for Gentoo however.

Below was the patch I used to fix this. I recommend backing up your usr/include/bits/mathinline.h first, in case something happens.

To apply this patch, execute the following command

cd /usr/include/bits ; patch -p0 < /path/to/mathinline.patch

Thanks!

I changed the 4.2.1 Xfree ebuild to rely on V 1.0 of ttmkfdir instead. It's building right now... I guess no TT fonts would be the worst thing that would happen???? We'll see.

So, mathlinline.patch is a modified copy of mathinline.h? With the following parts changed? I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at here.

Thanks again!

I just read about patch. Seems pretty straightforward.

I'll see what happens with this bastardized 4.2.1 build and let you know.

Cheers,

I have installed Gentoo 1.4_rc1 on an Ultra10...emerging x11base/xfree is still giving me the same error message as describe in the first message in this thread, even after I applied the patch to mathinline.sh.
Am I missing something here?

[savatoge]

I found the problem...the patch is missing the added __THROW in two places...should be:


# ifndef __NO_MATH_INLINES

-__MATH_INLINE double fdim (double __x, double __y);
+__MATH_INLINE double fdim (double __x, double __y) __THROW;
__MATH_INLINE double
-fdim (double __x, double __y)
+ fdim (double __x, double __y) __THROW
{
return __x < __y ? 0 : __x - __y;
}

-__MATH_INLINE float fdimf (float __x, float __y);
+__MATH_INLINE float fdimf (float __x, float __y) __THROW;
__MATH_INLINE float
- fdimf (float __x, float __y)
+fdim (double __x, double __y) __THROW
{

Thanks for the posts...got me pointed in the right direction. xfree is building as I type.

Thanks for the clarification
