[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi there,

I'm having an issue compiling kodi-wayland on x86. It looks like there's
undeclared types and methods in the fmt 9.1.0 library. I'm not a C++ guy,
but I think that either
 - Compiling is happening with the wrong version of CPP (too old of a
version of CPP for the features used by fmt <at> 9.1.0)
 - Some of the code importing <fmt/core.h> is also using C++20 features and
importing <format> and this is somehow causing a conflict.
I've included the relevant part of my derivation file to show what the
errors are.

According to CI, this is happening not only kody-wayland and not only
on x86 systems:

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/10016798/details
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/search?query=spec%3Amaster+kodi

Only kodi-cli is building successfully.

Thanks for reporting it.

merge 77911 77964
quit

Hi, this bug is due to the same issue reported by Dariqq on #77964,
which already has a proposed fix by Greg.  After applying that patch
series on top of 85b5c2c8f66aed05730f6c7bdeabfaadf619bb8f and
removing 'fmt' from the list of kodi inputs, I've successfully built
it on a x86_64 system.

Cheers!

I have left "fmt" as an input to kodi since there is no longer a
conflict with "spdlog" (which has been reverted to version 1.13).
j4-dmenu-desktop depends on spdlog-1.15 which is incompatible with the
unversioned "fmt". It's no harm to duplicate a propagated input.

After rechecking that all dependent packages build (except the broken
rxcpp) I have pushed #77406 as
c53da8704b64e835d563b1b1ca64a44f0d1d9746 and #77964 as
0b83a27b67ae92e988795322ae988518ec3e6972.

Even better then.
