I am using emerge from trunk on Win8 RC x86_64 and Visual Studio 2010. emerge was configured to compile for x86 arch. When trying to emerge okular, the compilation fails at phonon-vlc with the following error: backend.cpp r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(688) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(688) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ' )' before identifier 'U' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(688) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(689) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(690) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(691) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(692) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(693) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(694) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' r:\include\vlc\plugins\vlc_common.h(695) : error C2059: syntax error : 'bad suff ix on number' The problem is in vlc_common.h header file line 688 and below: return ((x & 0x00000000000000FFLLU) << 56) | ((x & 0x000000000000FF00LLU) << 40) | ((x & 0x0000000000FF0000LLU) << 24) | ((x & 0x00000000FF000000LLU) << 8) | ((x & 0x000000FF00000000LLU) >> 8) | ((x & 0x0000FF0000000000LLU) >> 24) | ((x & 0x00FF000000000000LLU) >> 40) | ((x & 0xFF00000000000000LLU) >> 56); VS 2010 does not recognize 64 bit numbers of the form: 0xFF00000000000000LLU, so one can use instead: 0xFF00000000000000LU Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge okular Actual Results: compilation stops with error at phonon-vlc Expected Results: compilation should succeed a patch might be needed to apply on vlc sources when VS2010 is used (?) replacing UUL with UL in line 688 from vlc_common.h
