On my system, emerge wants to update xorg-server to 1.14.1.901 but the |
| 2 |
compile phase always fails. |

|

There is no obvious error recorded in the log file, but based on a |
| 5 |
gentoo bug report (Bug 472058) it seems that a -Werror compile flag |
| 6 |
could be causing the problem. |

My emerge log only reports this: |

|

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors |

The bug report (#472058) mentions a failure occurring at a different point, |
| 21 |
but -Werror seems to be the cause. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I waited a few days to see if there were any other reports about a similar |
| 24 |
compile failure but so far there are none. I can only assume that xorg-server |
| 25 |
is compiling without problem on other systems. Why is it failing on mine? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Has anyone on the list experienced this failure? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I would like to remove the -Werror compile flag but without patching |
| 30 |
the source I don't see how this could be done. |
