Description tropikhajma 2012-01-16 23:16:04 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Solaris

build of kde-workspace 4.7.97 fails with the below error.

This is because variable length arrays are not part of the C++ standard and
Studio does not support this gcc-specific extension.

related issues: 276559, 256647

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try to build kde-workspace 4.7.97

Actual Results:  
"/opt/test2/packages/BUILD/kde-workspace-4.7.97/kinfocenter/Modules/samba/ksmbstatus.cpp", line 124: Error: An integer constant expression is required within the array subscript operator.


Expected Results:  
builds fine

Solaris 11, Solaris Studio 12.3

Note that most developers have no Sun Studio. So, if you really want this to be fixed, provide a patch.

We don't really support Solaris anymore.
