GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 115311
file-roller fails to build from CVS
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I have run into multiple problems building file-roller from CVS. One is that I also experience bug 101480. The other two are the following: Error #1--gcc fails with the following error: In file included from bookmarks.c:29: file-utils.h:55: parse error before "mode_t" This can be fixed with a patch that I'll attach in a moment. Error #2--gcc fails with the error: fr-archive.c:41:22: fr-error.h: No such file or directory I have no idea how to fix this error. Neither 'fr-error.h' nor 'fr-error.c' appear to exist. I just re-ran 'cvs -q update' and no files were pulled in.
Created attachment 17561 [details] [review] Patch to file mode_t parse error in file-utils.h
Adding PATCH & bugsquad keyword. Setting priority to immediage (I apologize if that's the wrong level--from the description at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug_status.html#priority that said "This bug blocks development or testing work", I believe this is the right level. Let me know if I was wrong.
Ugh. Sorry for all those typos. I meant: s/Patch to file mode_t parse error/Patch to fix mode_t parse error/ s/Setting priority to immediage/Setting priority to immediate/ s/if I was wrong./if I was wrong.)/ ...and sorry for the extra spam. :}
Okay, I decided to use the gnome-2-2 branch instead of CVS HEAD. gnome-2-2 is not affected by the second bug, but it is affected by the first and still needs my patch to build (but with it, I need to make no other changes to get it to build successfully). Hope this helps...
fixed now, sorry for the inconvenience
No worries--thanks for fixing this. It looks like my patch for file-utils.h didn't get applied to the gnome-2-2 branch, though. Was that an oversight, or is there policy stating that the branch should change?
applied to the gnome-2-2 too.
