Jonathan, Thanks for the quick reply! On 20-07-05 09:58:19, Jonathan Osuch wrote:
I'm a gentoo linux user and it has been noticed that xfractint does not compile with -fno-common or gcc-10 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/706522).
I'm not a C programmer, but I've managed to get the software to compile by applying the three attached patches. Please let me know if you intend to modify your source code so that I know what to do with the corresponding gentoo package.
Well, that is a good question. Where are you getting the source code for XFractint? On the Fractint Developer's website the most recent version should be xtractint-20-04p14.tat.gz. The xfradev.tar.gz should be a pointer to this file. I'm getting the source code from https://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/linux/ and it is indeed version 20-04p14.
Patch 1 should be a long double, not a double. Your third change, for boxcolor, is a little more complex. I need to be careful that I don't break the DOS code. Not that anyone ever compiles it now, but still. I will give it some thought. Thanks!
I'll compile with the various gcc version that are available on gentoo. If all goes well I will submit these easy "fixes" (taking into account your remarks) to the gentoo repository. Then I'll probably maintain this package for the gentoo community, and will be interested in any change you make. David.
