[Paul Tagliamonte (paultag)]

Ugh, christ. On it. We'll upstream this on git.fluxbox and pull from Debian down.

Thanks for the report, doko.

[Paul Tagliamonte (paultag)]

The issue from the log that triggers that (because the template stuff and classes are fine)

In file included from MacroCommand.cc:22:0:
MacroCommand.hh:36:5: error: 'size_t' does not name a type
MacroCommand.hh:48:5: error: 'size_t' does not name a type
MacroCommand.hh:53:5: error: 'size_t' does not name a type

[Paul Tagliamonte (paultag)]

Issue is present on other arches as well. This is a new development on what the toolchain includes by default, I guess. I'll finish this when I can set up an oneiric chroot.

[Paul Tagliamonte (paultag)]

This was fixed upstream. I'll prep a patch while we wait for 1.3.2 :)

[Paul Tagliamonte (paultag)]

fluxbox - 1.3.1~dfsg1-2 is in Debian, and fixes this problem.

I've put fluxbox - 1.3.1~dfsg1-2~ppa1 in ppa:paultag/fluxbox -- would you mind copying it over to test?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package fluxbox - 1.3.1~dfsg1-2

---------------
fluxbox (1.3.1~dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Adding in a patch to solve the FTBFS on oneiric (really more
    a problem with gcc-4.6, though). Yanked a patch from upstream.
    Thanks, Daniel Diaz! (LP: #771017)
