sci-electronics/spice: respect CC

2025-04-04T03:44:28Z

All the configuration is jammed into Makefile fragments with the expectation that you edit it by hand. Prime 1989 technology. Capitulate to this demand, but use a slightly better editor (echo). Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/725428 Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz

sci-electronics/spice: "fix" Modern C issues by declaring defeat

2025-04-04T03:44:28Z

The software is extremely crusty. As mentioned in the previous commit, it hasn't been maintained since 1993 and there are derivative projects which likely solve these issues. The code has "worked" since 1993 and I suspect unlikely to ever be of much interest to new platforms, given that it's only even useful as a point of reference compared to its modern derivatives. Keep in mind the code is so old that it's from back when the most recent brand new C revision supported implicit function declarations. Trying to solve its C issues seems unworthwhile. Just -std=c89 it. Actually, gnu89 since it depends on `#define linux` to detect the platform. :P Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/919301 Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/944870 Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/945068 Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz

sci-electronics/spice: correctly error when compiling fails

2025-04-04T03:44:28Z

The makefiles for this project are from 1989, back when software developers still knew how to write real build systems. For example, real build systems are intelligent enough to: - mark loads of rules as "-command", which tells make to not fail if the command fails - run make by concatenating makefile fragments and piping it to `make -f -` - recursively run more makes via concatenation - pass -k to all make invocations, so that we try to build as much as possible even if we can't succeed in the end - mandatorily require running make from a shell script that sets up everything, somehow There is only one slight problem with this otherwise brilliant design. Namely, none of it is a good idea. ANYWAY, this software does not build due to Modern C violations. It is also entirely uninteresting to invest serious time in the build system for this thing, or even attempt to report it, since the software exists as a wikipedia "historically significant events" page plus random third-party download sites and web.archive.org and a progression of modernized and extended forks. The actual project was declared finished and done with in 1993. I'm told keeping the package around is important because, as the father of an entire industry, it's important to have as a point of reference whenever doing various kinds of work. Still, the darned thing could do a bit better about actually compiling. Step 1 is to error out on compile failures, rather than succeeding and then failing to run the built executables / have the input files for "dobin" and erroring out with inscrutable messages.
