  • [gentoo-user] Motif compile fails

    From Philip Webb@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 28 18:30:01 2021
    As part of updating to the latest stable Xscreensaver,
    I tried to emerge its requirement Motif, which failed with this message :

    This looks as if the problem is with Gcc flags, which is rather technical.

    Has anyone else run into this ? Does anyone have suggestions ?

    As the error involves libfl.a, from sys-devel/flex, I'd try rebuilding
    that package. See bug 583842,

    Thanks a lot : I was afraid no-one would reply.

    Yes, that worked & I've gone on to emerge the latest Xscreensaver-6.01-r3 , which has restored 'xscreensaver-settings' (was '-demo'),
    so I can finally suppress a couple of really ugly screensavers !

    I did check Bugs for 'motif',
    but the bug above dates from 2016, so it didn't turn up in my search.
