Watcom worked like a champion for me!

Sybase actually release the source to something? Surely you jest? I used to work for the local Sybase reseller. I would not have thought management would ever have open-sourced anything. Well, well, whaddayaknow. Miracles do happen. watcom was a very nice compiler back in the day.

You are correct -- though lacking the "Sybase released it to the open source world" detail.

Daniel,
A detail I meant to include in my original posting is that I'm
attempting the build on (and for) a 32 bit machine. So distcc _is_
the problem.
The lack of 64-bit buildability for openwatcom is a whole 'nother
subject and I'm in communication with the developer about it.
Regards,
David

Xavier,
It helps a lot! I had installed distcc, but never quite got it
working. Getting it working is on my TODO list, but I hadn't thought
of it when the problem occurred.
Thanks!

Okay, this is not a distcc problem.
From looking at the bug. Do you really think by just tricking the
architecture check to accept x86_64 will make it magically compile. You
can't be serious! This software does not build on x86_64 at the moment.
If you don't have the appropriate programming skills to fix this
yourself you have to wait for the openwatcom developers to make it
x86_64 ready.

Do you use distcc? Try if the ebuild works with temporary disabling
distcc. If distcc is to blame, fixing wont be that easy. You have to
examine build.sh and fix it in order to work with distcc.

You use distcc. But seems to be not well configured. Just disable distcc to
build the package (FEATURES=-distcc in /etc/make.conf).

[gentoo-user] openwatcom ebuild question
As background, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233097 has an
experimental, unsupported ebuild for openwatcom-1.7.1 and it doesn't
quite work :-<
The ebuild's src_compile function is:
src_compile() {
./build.sh || die "build.sh failed"
}
When I run "emerge =dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1", the build fails with
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `bootstrp/clibext.o' is
incompatible with i386 output distcc[16016] ERROR: compile (null)
on localhost failed
The full output of the emerge command is in the attached file.
Alternatively, I can manually unpack and build with commands:
ebuild =dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1/work
./build.sh
With the steps performed manually, the compilation works properly.
Anybody familiar with the "i386:x86-64 ... incompatible ... i386"
message and know what it means?
Any suggestions on ebuild changes to correct this behavior?
Thanks !
David
