Bugzilla – Bug 1225800
Package libesmtp does not build with gcc14 because of new errors
Last modified: 2024-07-10 14:47:49 UTC
GCC 14 newly by default treats as errors a number of situations which before were only warnings. For more information see https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html and meta bug #1220571. Because of this, package libesmtp fails to compile. This can be seen online at: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7/libesmtp/standard/x86_64 It can be reproduced locally with command: osc build --clean --alternative-project home:rguenther:nextgcc Notes from fedora-modernc project however suggest that "removing autotools" is necessary: https://gitlab.com/fweimer-rh/fedora-modernc/-/blob/main/pkg/l/libesmtp.md?ref_type=heads The (first) error (that halts the build) is: [ 24s] ../smtp-api.c: In function ‘smtp_version’: [ 24s] ../smtp-api.c:1183:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘strlcpy’; did you mean ‘strncpy’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] [ 24s] 1183 | if (strlcpy (buf, v, len) > len) [ 24s] | ^~~~~~~ [ 24s] | strncpy
Sorry, I was confused, the RedHat patch directly changes an autotools generated file and the reference they have given is to a commit that removes autotools from the project. But the Factory version no longer has auto-tools, the issue is merely a missing feature macro definition.
